Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert PlantUML to Draw.io?

Simply paste your PlantUML code into Plant2Draw, choose a layout, and download the Draw.io XML file. Open it in Draw.io, diagrams.net, or import it into Confluence.

What PlantUML diagram types are supported?

Plant2Draw supports Class, Sequence, State, Component, Deployment, Activity, Use Case, Timing, Network, and ADF diagrams. The diagram type is detected automatically from your PlantUML code.

Why did Draw.io remove PlantUML support?

Draw.io (diagrams.net) removed their built-in PlantUML rendering in late 2025. Plant2Draw fills this gap by converting PlantUML source code to native Draw.io XML format that you can open and edit directly.

Can I convert multiple PlantUML files at once?

Yes! Pro and Team subscribers can use batch conversion to upload and convert multiple .puml files simultaneously.

What is the difference between PlantUML and Draw.io?

PlantUML uses text-based code to describe diagrams, while Draw.io is a visual diagramming tool. Plant2Draw bridges the two by converting PlantUML text into Draw.io's XML format so you can edit diagrams visually.
