🎉 Create Animated Flow Diagrams with Draw.io
Hey friends, ever seen those cool, animated flow diagrams on LinkedIn and wondered how you could create one yourself? I'm excited to share a surprisingly simple method to do just that, using a tool many of us already know: Draw.io!
🛠️ How to Animate Your Flow Diagrams in Draw.io
Menu Edit -> Select Edges
This lets you select all the lines in your diagram, or you can pick just the ones you want to animate.Property -> Tick 'Flow Animation'
Just tick this option, and watch your diagram come to life. It's really that simple!
⚠️ Important Note: GIF Export Limitation
Unfortunately, Draw.io doesn’t support exporting to GIF. But don't worry, you have options:
- Embed Draw.io directly wherever you need to use your diagram.
- Save as SVG -> Convert to GIF: Use a tool like here.
- Record the Screen -> Convert to GIF: Capture a few seconds of your animation and turn it into a GIF using EZGIF.
💡 Looking for Alternatives?
If you're looking for other options, here are a couple:
- PowerPoint: It's possible to animate diagrams, but it takes a bit more time to set up transitions and animations.
- Figma with the To Path Plugin
Happy diagramming! 💻📊
