The diagram studio
You name the idea.
It draws it.
Say what the board must explain, click where it happens on your plan or section, and get clean lines, arrows and fills you can still edit.
Clean lines, arrows and fills you can still move, recolour and delete. Not a filter.
Image touch-ups
Ready for print,
not redrawn
Upscale for an A1 print, crop to the slot, extend a photo’s edge to fit, match colours across the board.

The building itself is never changed.

FAQ
Questions
Which formats can I make?
An A1, A0 or 24 × 36 in board, or a slide deck. Square posts and a web deck come later. You can switch before you export.
How much does it cost?
You pay per use with credits; there is no subscription. A quick board takes a few credits; more diagrams and image touch-ups take more. Credit packs are priced by country. You see a free, watermarked preview before you pay anything.
Does it work with PowerPoint and Canva?
Yes. You get an editable PowerPoint file: a whole A1 board sits on one slide, and it opens in PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides and Canva. You also get a print-ready PDF.
Is it allowed for my coursework?
It lays out your drawings and draws the ideas you point to; the design and the thinking are yours. Words are written only from your own brief. Check your school’s rules on AI tools, and say you used it if they ask.
Do my drawings stay private?
Yes. Your files are made into the board in your own browser, not on our servers.
