What is a flowchart?
A flow chart is a visual diagram that shows the steps in a process, in order, using shapes and arrows to connect actions and decisions. It helps you see how a process moves from start to finish, making it easier to document, follow, and improve.
What types of flowcharts can Napkin create?
Napkin can generate several flow chart types from the same input, including process flows, decision trees, and journey flows. Switch between layouts anytime without starting over.
How do I edit a flowchart after generating it?
Click any step to change its shape, edit text, change the font, or recolor it, all directly on the flow chart. Add or remove steps, or switch the entire layout. Nothing is fixed, so you can keep refining until it feels right.
What can I use a flowchart for?
Flowcharts are incredibly versatile. Use them to document processes, map workflows, plan approvals, or guide onboarding. They are just as useful for troubleshooting guides or mapping a customer journey.
How is Napkin AI different from other flowchart tools?

You can even take it further with Napkin Slides, turning your ideas into a ready-to-present presentation.
