// como funciona

Como funciona

  1. Download a built binary

    Get the current release for your platform from the repository releases section — built binaries are the supported route, per the README.

  2. Pick your Windows flavour (or install on macOS/Linux)

    On Windows choose the NSIS installer (per-machine, needs admin), the MSI (per-user, no admin), the portable zip, or the Microsoft Store build; macOS and Linux builds install the usual way for those platforms.

  3. Draw and export

    Create diagrams on the canvas, save them as .drawio files, and export to PNG, SVG or PDF for documents and wikis.

// recursos

Por que as pessoas gostam tanto

Offline by design

Designed to be isolated from the internet except for update checks — diagram data and analytics never leave your machine.

The full draw.io editor

The same shape libraries, connectors and templates as diagrams.net, including AWS/Azure/GCP icon sets for architecture work.

Every platform covered

Windows (including native ARM64), macOS and Linux builds, plus portable and Microsoft Store options that need no admin rights.

Open file format

Diagrams save as editable .drawio files and export to PNG, SVG, PDF and HTML, so nothing is locked into the app.

Execute você mesmo

  1. Download the release

    The README route: built binaries from the releases section of the repo.

    https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases
  2. Build from source

    For developers: clone recursively (the editor core is a submodule), then install dependencies per the README.

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop.git
    cd drawio-desktop
    npm install
  3. Go portable on Windows

    Download the .zip (or ARM64 no-installer .exe) from releases, extract anywhere, and run draw.io.exe — no installation, no admin rights.

// perguntas frequentes

Perguntas frequentes

Who makes draw.io Desktop?

JGraph, the company behind diagrams.net (jgraph/drawio-desktop on GitHub); this repo is the official Electron desktop build of the draw.io editor.

Is draw.io Desktop free?

Yes — GPL-3.0 licensed. The README puts it plainly: you can use it for any purpose, free, if you do not change the code and accept it is provided as-is.

Does it send my diagrams anywhere?

No. The project states the desktop app is designed to be completely isolated from the internet apart from checking GitHub once a day for updates, and that no diagram data or usage analytics are sent externally.

How does it compare to a well-known alternative?

Against Excalidraw (also on LibreAI), draw.io is the structured, shape-library diagramming tool — stronger for architecture and technical diagrams; Excalidraw is the looser hand-drawn whiteboard. Against the diagrams.net web app, the desktop build is the same editor with offline, no-data-leaves-the-machine guarantees.

How do I get started?

Download the build for your platform from the releases section, install (or unzip the portable build), and start drawing.
