Animated Diagrams 2.1.0

The first public release. Draw an architecture diagram, animate how requests flow through it, and show
it anywhere: GIF, video, PowerPoint or an interactive web player.

Demo

✨ Highlights

Animate request flows

  • Timeline steps: messages along edges (packets, curves, trails), node states (down / active / success),
    timers and timeouts, notes, actions, edge animations, key-frame effects.
  • Templates with roles: retries, timeout + fallback, pub/sub, cache-aside and more.
  • Markers split the scenario into chapters; presenter mode (F5) plays chapter by chapter on click.

Export anywhere

  • GIF (one palette for the whole animation), WebM (VP9 / AV1), MP4 (H.264), PNG frames.
    Encoding runs in-process; no external ffmpeg is needed.

  • PowerPoint (.pptx), four kinds of slides:

    • auto-playing video;
    • animated GIF (works in Google Slides too);
    • editable shapes with native PowerPoint animations;
    • key frames with the Morph transition.

    One slide per chapter; slides can be added to an existing presentation.

  • Interactive HTML player: one self-contained page (the engine compiled to WebAssembly) for
    reveal.js, Slidev, Marp or an <iframe>.

  • Exports run in the background while you keep editing.

Make it yours

  • Design systems: color tokens, state and message colors, fonts, default styles. One choice restyles
    the diagram and the editor's own interface.
  • A library of element types, effects and animation templates.
  • Plugins: JSON packs you can build in the editor. Bundled: Cloud kit, Data platform (PostgreSQL,
    ClickHouse, Kafka, CDC) and Security kit (OAuth, JWT, WAF).

AI-ready

  • A built-in MCP server (stdio and HTTP) lets an agent build, check and export diagrams. A skill
    for agents is included.

Everyday comfort

  • Tabs with session restore, dockable panels, palette favorites, undo / redo.
  • draw.io import, including compressed and multi-page files.
  • English and Russian interface.
  • Crash reports with stack traces.

    and user plugins kept.

    Safari 15.2+). Web fonts are not embedded.
  • The detailed guides in docs/ are in Russian for now.
