What it does
Code to Flow takes code you paste in, in any popular language, and has an AI work out its structure and logic, then draws a diagram of it. Besides flowcharts it can produce sequence diagrams, class diagrams and user journeys, and it has an option to explain technical concepts. A written explanation appears beside the diagram. You can edit and customise the result, zoom in, copy it, and export it as PNG or SVG, with PDF listed among the features and a share link also offered. The site says more than 500,000 flowcharts have been generated and that your code is processed to make the diagram and then discarded, not stored or shared. It names developers debugging tricky logic, students learning concepts, teams explaining code in reviews, and people drawing diagrams for technical documentation as its audience. The free allowance is limited, and paid options remove the daily cap.
