    Experience hassle-free diagramming with endless possibilities

    With twice the features for less than the price of Visio, Lucidchart is the best solution for Visio users looking for a more intuitive and collaborative diagramming experience. Our web-based software gives you access to role-specific templates, a wide range of shape libraries, and sharing options, making it a perfect fit for those in search of a complete enterprise diagramming solution or just a free Visio viewer. Even our users with free accounts can view any Visio file in Lucidchart—no downloads, updates, or expensive software necessary.

    Import and export your Visio files for simplified collaboration

    Rather than pay for an expensive Visio account and waste time installing a desktop-only software just to view files, you can use Lucidchart to view Visio diagrams. All Lucidchart users, even those on free accounts, can use our Visio import feature to open Visio files, while Lucidchart users with paid accounts can edit and share their Visio files using our intuitive interface. When you upgrade your account, you can even export your Lucidchart documents into a Visio file format to share with collaborators who haven’t made the switch yet. 
     

  • Create and collaborate seamlessly from any device or operating system

    Create and collaborate seamlessly from any device or operating system

    Lucidchart was created out of a need for a more collaborative alternative to Visio. Rather than sharing static Visio files back and forth and creating versioning issues, use our web-based software to collaborate on live documents. Lucidchart works across Mac, PC, Linux, iOS, and Android operating systems, so your entire team has access to the latest version of your diagram at all times. Collaborators can view and edit the same document in real time, chat and @mention other users directly in the editor, and share work instantly with published links. 
     

  • Access, edit, and share your diagrams with Lucidchart integrations

    Access, edit, and share your diagrams with Lucidchart integrations

    Lucidchart is fully integrated with many of today’s most popular apps, letting you create, share, and manage diagrams with the tools you and your team already use. While Visio has limited integrations, Lucidchart integrates with Microsoft Office, G Suite, Slack, Confluence, Jira, and other collaborative platforms. Our free integrations are easy to use, allowing you to insert your Lucidchart visuals directly into any document, spreadsheet, or slide for effortless documentation and team alignment.
