Graphite

What Graphite is

Graphite is a web-based AI tool for making diagrams, charts, and infographics from natural-language prompts. It supports Mermaid and D2 diagrams, Vega and Vega-Lite visualizations, and infographic formats. In its editor, you can revise content in real time and preview Mermaid, Vega, and D2 work. You can also upload a whiteboard sketch or screenshot and turn it into editable code logic. Finished work can be exported as SVG or PNG, or you can copy its code for documentation.

Graphite is presented for developers, product managers, and data analysts. It uses OpenAI and Google Gemini to process inputs and create diagram content. You can use limited functionality anonymously, or register with Google, Microsoft, or email and password. The free Starter plan includes unlimited generations, standard speed, and SVG exports. Pro costs $8 per month and adds frontier AI models and SVG exports without watermarks. The maker says prompts and diagrams are not used to train or improve AI models. Sessions are stored indefinitely; the privacy policy describes HTTPS encryption in transit, secure authentication, and access controls, while noting it cannot guarantee absolute security.

Who it suits

Graphite suits developers, product managers, and data analysts who want to create visualizations from prompts or convert sketches and screenshots into editable code logic. It can also suit users who need SVG or PNG exports, or code to add to documentation.

Limits

Starter includes unlimited generations at standard speed and SVG exports. Pro costs $8 per month and adds frontier AI models and SVG exports without watermarks.

Getting started

1. Open https://www.graphite-app.com/ in a web browser.
2. Use limited functionality anonymously or register with Google, Microsoft, or email and password.
3. Choose the free Starter plan or Pro at $8 per month.

Verdict

Choose Graphite if you want a web-based prompt-to-visualization tool with Mermaid, D2, Vega, and Vega-Lite support, or a way to turn sketches into editable logic. Look elsewhere if you need a desktop platform or if the indefinitely stored sessions are unsuitable for your work.
