EditableImageConvert a diagram image into editable Draw.io nodes and connectors.
The shapes come back attached to their arrows, so you can drag a box and the lines follow it — then keep working in the Draw.io editor you already know.

One run costs 4 credits, so that covers your first 2. Signing in is free and takes one click — the tools need an account to run.

Image to Draw.io questions
The real Draw.io editor, embedded on the page. Styling, alignment, and grouping all work as they normally do.
Where the recovery could tell which shapes an arrow joins, yes — the connector is bound to them, so moving a node reroutes the line.
Yes. Use a full-resolution capture with legible labels and complete arrowheads. Check the recovered connections in Draw.io before exporting, especially where lines cross.
It is standard .drawio XML. Open it in Draw.io, diagrams.net, or any tool that reads mxGraph files.
Crossings and faint arrowheads are where recovery is least sure — a crossing can be read as a junction, and a blurred arrowhead as a plain line. Check those spots in the embedded editor and reattach any connector that came loose before exporting.
A conversion is 4 credits for the picture, however many calls it took, and a failed run refunds in full. The result stays reachable from your account page for 24 hours and reopens free for further editing.
