Online UML Editor & Viewer
Write UML as text and watch the diagram build itself: class, sequence, use case, activity and state diagrams are rendered locally by the PlantUML engine — your model never leaves your machine.
How it works
- Start from a UML template (class, sequence, use case …) or paste your own text
- The diagram updates live as you type, with syntax errors reported by line number
- Switch diagram types from the syntax guide — no drawing tools required
- Export as SVG, PNG, JPG or PDF, or embed it in a Markdown document
Frequently asked questions
- Which UML diagram types can I draw?
- Class, sequence, use case, activity, state and component diagrams — the same text-based syntax covers all of them.
- Do I need to learn PlantUML first?
- Not really. Templates and a built-in syntax guide cover the common cases, and plain text like "User -> System : request" already produces a sequence diagram.
- Is this free, and does it work without an account?
- Yes — no account and no installation. The UML engine runs inside the browser tab, so it also keeps working offline after the first visit.
- Can I use the diagrams in documentation?
- Export them as SVG for sharp scaling or PNG / JPG for slides, and paste PlantUML blocks straight into Markdown files to render the diagrams inline.
