Get right into ideating and solving complex problems with a prompt and click. Miro AI can generate flowcharts, ERD, UML class diagrams, sequence diagrams, and more in seconds. No more wrestling with complex setup processes or hunting through endless menus – just describe your system and watch it come to life.
Less work, better technical diagrams
Whether you prefer coding in Mermaid and PlantUML, or drawing database designs from scratch, Miro has you covered with hundreds of ready-to-use templates. Save hours of manual work and focus on what matters: solving complex technical challenges, not fighting with your technical diagram tool.
Visualize and optimize your cloud architecture, the easy way
Automatically visualize your AWS cloud architecture with JSON import to map your current state and design future scenarios. Then use our AWS Cost Calculator app to estimate costs and optimize your cloud spend. Turn infrastructure planning from a guessing game into data-driven decision making.
Powerful tools and integrations for your entire team
Code-to-diagram. Advanced formatting. Shape metadata. You get these options and a lot more with our Draw.io, Mermaid, and PlantUML apps. All that power and you never have to leave Miro. Your development workflow stays uninterrupted while your diagrams stay professional.
Why the best development teams use Miro for technical diagramming
Powerful collaboration capabilities
Collaborate the way that fits you. Edit technical diagrams in real time with your team or record a Talktrack, an interactive video-voiceover, to easily explain complex system architectures. No more endless email chains trying to clarify diagram details – just clear, visual communication.
Add layers to your diagram
Layers let you create multi-dimensional diagrams, seamlessly switching between high-level system architectures and detailed technical implementations. Show executives the big picture, then dive into implementation details for your engineering team – all in the same technical diagram tool.
Upload custom shape packs
Custom shape packs allow you to tailor diagrams to your specific industry or project needs, leading to more professional and impactful visualizations. Whether you're designing microservices, network topologies, or specialized system components, make your technical diagramming truly yours.
Import your diagrams
Bring existing technical diagrams into Miro with just a few clicks. Import from Visio or Lucidchart, or copy code from GitHub or Notion using our Mermaid and PlantUML apps. Migrate years of technical documentation without losing any work or starting from scratch.
Technical diagrams always stay up to date
Live embed keeps your technical diagrams up to date across thousands of tools and websites like Confluence, Coda, and Notion. When your system architecture evolves, your documentation evolves with it automatically.
Build custom integrations to visualize your data
The Miro Developer Platform lets you create apps or integrations that automatically generate technical diagrams from company data and tools. Connect your monitoring systems, deployment pipelines, or internal APIs to keep your technical diagramming synchronized with reality.

How to create a technical diagram in Miro
Start from scratch, use one of our templates, import diagrams from Lucidchart, Microsoft Visio, or Draw.io, copy existing code using Mermaid and PlantUML apps, or generate diagrams from text using Miro Assist.
Drop in comments or record a walkthrough of the diagram with Talktrack so people can review it on their own time, with all relevant context on the board.
Use Interactive Presentation Mode to present to your team, add code snippets using Code Block, embed the diagram into your projects on Confluence, and define next steps using task trackers like Jira cards.

Plus, with over 160 integrations with tools like Jira, Asana, and Google Workspace, your diagrams become a central part of your project's ecosystem.
What kinds of technical diagrams can I create in Miro?
You can create a wide variety of technical diagrams to fit your needs. Miro supports everything from industry-standard notations like Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) to cloud architecture diagrams for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Whether you need to build an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD), a data flow diagram, or a network diagram, our extensive shape libraries and templates have you covered.
Can my team collaborate on diagrams in real-time?
Absolutely. Our innovation workspace is built for both real-time and async collaboration. Miro's canvas can host dozens of simultaneous collaborators, allowing your entire cross-functional team to co-create and provide feedback in one shared space.
