Full Mermaid support — plus AI generation, PlantUML, cloud saving, and project export. A complete diagram workflow, not just a renderer.
Everything Mermaid does, plus AI and a full workflow.
Describe your system → get Mermaid code. No syntax learning required.
Use Mermaid for most diagrams, PlantUML when you need deeper UML detail.
Save diagrams to your account. Access from any device, any browser.
See the rendered diagram update live as you type Mermaid code.
Export as SVG, PNG, code, or a full project ZIP with architecture specs.
Web-based editor. No npm install, no CLI, no configuration files.
Mermaid is a great starting point. These scenarios suggest you've outgrown it.
Your system has 20+ services and Mermaid's rendering engine struggles with layout. You need smarter rendering for large-scale architectures.
You need deployment diagrams, C4 component views, or detailed UML that Mermaid doesn't support natively. PlantUML fills the gap.
Mermaid Live Editor exports basic PNG. You need high-res SVG, branded exports, and full project ZIP scaffolds for documentation.
You want an AI that understands microservice patterns, database relationships, and cloud topology — not a generic text-to-diagram converter.
Writing Mermaid syntax by hand is slow for initial drafts. Describe your system in English and let AI produce the first version.
Your team needs shared diagram access with cloud saving. Mermaid files scattered across repos lack a central source of truth.
Mermaid brought diagram-as-code into the mainstream by embedding beautifully in Markdown. For README diagrams and simple flowcharts, it's still the best choice. But production architecture documentation demands more: multiple diagram types, export flexibility, and tooling that understands software systems.
A complete diagram workflow starts with AI-assisted creation — describe your architecture and get a structured first draft. From there, you refine in a real-time editor, save to the cloud, export to multiple formats, and scaffold project structures from your diagrams. That's the gap between a renderer and a workflow tool.
Cybewave supports Mermaid natively, so your existing diagrams work immediately. It adds PlantUML for diagram types Mermaid can't handle, AI generation for faster creation, and cloud saving so diagrams don't live in scattered .md files. You don't lose Mermaid — you gain everything around it.
