Graphite is a web-based AI tool for creating diagrams, charts, and infographics from natural-language prompts.
What Graphite is
Graphite is a web-based AI tool for creating diagrams, charts, and infographics from natural-language prompts. It supports Mermaid, D2, Vega, Vega-Lite visualizations, and infographic layouts. The editor provides real-time editing and previews for Mermaid, Vega, and D2. You can upload a whiteboard sketch or screenshot and convert it into editable code logic, then export results as SVG or PNG or copy the code into documentation. Graphite uses OpenAI and Google Gemini to process prompts. Limited functionality is available without an account; registration supports Google, Microsoft, or email and password. The free Starter plan includes unlimited generations, standard speed, and SVG exports. Pro costs $8 a month and adds frontier AI models and exports without watermarks. The maker says prompts and diagrams are not used to train or improve AI models, while sessions are stored indefinitely.
