Sketch2Scheme
Sketch2scheme uses AI to turn hand-drawn diagrams and flowcharts into editable digital schemes, so diagram creators can move from paper sketches to digital editing and export.
One of 163 tools in Design Generators
Who it's for
- People who brainstorm flowcharts or diagrams on paper and want to digitize them without recreating the elements manually.
- Diagram creators who want to generate schemes from text and edit results visually or with Mermaid code.
- Agencies seeking diagram recognition with API access, as offered in the Agency plan.
How it fits your workflow
Submit a hand-drawn diagram or flowchart for AI recognition, which identifies text, nodes, and connections and arranges the elements.
Edit the result in the visual editor or Mermaid code editor, then export it in a supported format such as PNG, SVG, or PDF.
Alternatively, generate a diagram from a text description. The site also lists a diagrams.net-compatible format.
