Learn how to visualize data and processes with flowcharts and dataflowdiagrams (DFDs). Discover their differences and examples, and see how they can improve your workflows.
This example helps illustrate how data moves between users, processes, and data stores—such as passenger information, booking records, schedules, and payments - at different levels of detail.
Data information can be overwhelming to internalize. Here’s how you can use a dataflowdiagram to create more accessible formats for your target audience.
With these 11 free web tools, you can tackle any diagramming task—whether it’s a quick flowchart, a detailed dataflowdiagram, or a high‑level block diagram—right in your browser.
Dataflowdiagrams (DFDs) are visual tools that map how data moves through your systems—from sources to storage to outputs. They help teams align around processes, identify bottlenecks, and support better architecture decisions.
Now that you know what makes up a dataflowdiagram, let’s see how easy it is to make one using our powerful, online tool. We provide a ton of templates to use as a starting point.
