About yEd Live
yEd Live is a free, browser-based diagram editor from yWorks that enables rapid creation, editing, importing, and automatic arrangement of diagrams—all running entirely in the user’s local browser without sending data to any server. It supports a wide array of diagram types and integrates AI-powered tools for smart diagram creation and editing.
✅ Pros
- ✔️ Completely free and runs fully in the browser—no installation needed.
- ✔️ Full data privacy—diagrams stay local unless you explicitly choose cloud storage.
- ✔️ Powerful automatic layout options (hierarchic, organic, tree, radial, BPMN, UML, mind-map, etc.).
- ✔️ AI-enhanced diagram creation and editing via ChatGPT integration.
- ✔️ Supports custom palettes, data annotation, cloud import/export, and rich export formats (PNG, SVG, PDF, GraphML, JSON, GML, TGF).
❌ Cons
- ✖️ Lacks advanced collaboration tools—no real-time multi-user editing.
- ✖️ AI integration may sometimes produce imperfect or inaccurate diagrams.
- ✖️ Features beyond the browser version (like enterprise integrations) are limited or require other products.
