Overview

What is FlowChartAI?

FlowChartAI is an all-in-one AI productivity platform that runs entirely in the browser, organised into five modules sharing a single workspace and a single account.

AI Diagrams turns free text or an image into flowcharts, mind maps, SWOT grids, org charts, Gantt plans, UML class, sequence, activity and component diagrams, decision trees and architecture views. An auto-layout engine positions the nodes and routes connectors to avoid crossings, a visual editor lets you move nodes, adjust colours, annotate and resize, and the result exports to PNG, SVG or PDF or travels through a live share link.

AI Convert turns images and PDFs into editable Excel or Word files, detecting rows, columns and merged cells. It accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP and GIF at up to 10 MB per file, five files per batch, with five free generations a day.

AI Video and Image Editor removes watermarks and burned-in subtitles automatically, compresses video, extracts audio or GIFs, translates on-screen text and refines image backgrounds. It takes MP4 and MOV up to 20 MB and ten minutes, again with five free generations daily.

AI Video Downloader saves videos, Shorts and playlists from YouTube, TikTok and Instagram as MP4 or MOV in 1080p or 4K, one link per task.

AI Transcript Generator converts video, audio, voice notes or a direct recording into timestamped text, with language selection, speaker identification and chaptering; MP4 and MOV up to 30 MB and ten minutes, billed at five credits per minute, with two free generations a day.

The pitch is consolidation: one hub instead of a diagram app, a converter, a video editor, a downloader extension and a transcription service, each with its own login. The economics run on credits — 200 granted at every daily login, per-tool daily quotas, monthly Lite, Pro and Prime plans, and one-off credit packs described as non-expiring. The interface ships in thirteen languages, sign-in works by email or Google, and nothing needs installing on desktop, tablet or phone.

The publisher is GROW ENGINE LIMITED, registration number 78975168, with Dovi Creative Limited named as operating entity at the same Tsim Sha Tsui address in Hong Kong. The service is young: the domain was registered on 27 January 2026 and first archived on 14 May 2026. There is no public API and no native mobile application.

What it does

  • Generate flowcharts, mind maps, org charts, Gantt plans, SWOT grids and UML diagrams from a plain-text description or a photo
  • Convert images and PDFs into editable Excel or Word files, reconstructing table structure from photographed documents
  • Transcribe video, audio and voice notes into timestamped text, with language selection and speaker identification
  • Remove watermarks and burned-in subtitles from video automatically
  • Download videos, Shorts and playlists from YouTube, TikTok and Instagram as MP4 or MOV, up to 4K
  • Compress video, extract its audio track or pull a GIF from it
  • Translate text embedded in an image or a video, and refine image backgrounds
Audience

When to use FlowChartAI / When not to

A quick filter to help you decide if FlowChartAI is the right fit.

When to use FlowChartAI

  • Product managers and business analysts who need process diagrams, converted spreadsheets and meeting transcripts within the same working week
  • Content creators and social media teams saving public clips, stripping watermarks, compressing files and translating on-screen text
  • Students, lecturers and researchers turning paper notes into spreadsheets and lecture recordings into quotable text
  • Finance and administrative staff digitising photographed invoices, supplier forms and order lists into editable Excel files
  • Software engineers and architects who would rather describe a system in plain text than drag shapes onto a blank canvas

When not to use FlowChartAI

  • Anyone working with video files above 20 MB or longer than ten minutes, which the editing module rejects outright
  • Editors who need manual control over watermark removal: detection is automatic only, with no brush, mask or override
  • Teams that require a signed DPA, a published subprocessor list or a contractual hosting location, none of which the site provides
  • Developers looking to call the service programmatically, since no public API or documentation exists
  • Anyone needing full post-production work such as multi-track editing, colour grading or visual effects
Get started

How to use FlowChartAI

A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.

  1. Open the site and pick one of the five modules; there is nothing to install and no separate account per tool
  2. Drop in a file, paste a public link, or type a plain-language description, depending on the module
  3. Set the few options the module offers — language, timestamps and speaker identification for a transcript, for instance
  4. Check the estimated credit cost and the remaining daily quota, both displayed before you commit
  5. Launch the job and let the AI handle detection, conversion, editing or transcription without further tuning
  6. Refine the result where the module allows it: move nodes, change colours, add annotations or resize a diagram
  7. Export in the format you need — PNG, SVG or PDF for diagrams, XLSX for tables, MP4 or MOV for video, plain text for transcripts
  8. Chain straight into another module if the job continues, since every tool shares the same workspace
  9. Sign in by email or with a Google account to keep credit tracking and a history of your creations

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Five tool families in one workspace under a single account, which genuinely removes the login and file-handoff friction of stitching separate services together
  • Nothing to install: it runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and phone alike
  • A recurring daily free allowance on top of the advertised trial, so occasional use can cost nothing at all
  • Diagrams are built from free text rather than a blank canvas, removing manual shape placement entirely
  • Outputs are immediately usable — PNG, SVG, PDF and editable XLSX rather than flat pictures
  • A low paid entry point at $8.99 per month for 320 credits spanning every module, with one-off credits described as non-expiring
  • Credit cost and remaining quota are shown before a job runs, which keeps spending predictable

Cons

  • The pricing page is unusable without JavaScript, showing only Loading plans…; the actual amounts appear nowhere in the site's static pages
  • File ceilings are low: 20 MB and ten minutes for video, 10 MB and five files for images, 30 MB and ten minutes for transcription
  • Watermark removal is automatic only — when detection misfires there is no manual mode and no way to correct it
  • Data governance is undocumented: no GDPR mention, no DPA, no subprocessor list and no declared hosting country or region
  • The Service Terms grant a perpetual, irrevocable, transferable and worldwide licence over uploaded content, and rule out refunds entirely
  • There is no public API, no native application and no browser extension
  • The marketing contradicts the product: the homepage promises a free trial and unlimited use while modules cap free work at two to five generations a day — a contradiction the vendor's own comparison article acknowledges
Pricing

Trust & Privacy

Data, GDPR & hosting

A consolidated view of how FlowChartAI handles your data.

GDPR overview

There is no GDPR implementation to report. Searching every collected page — visible text and archived HTML alike — returns no occurrence of the GDPR, of the CCPA, or of Article 27. No data protection officer is named, no EU representative is designated, no Data Processing Agreement is offered and no subprocessor list is published. The privacy policy, which runs to only two numbered sections, describes no right of access, rectification, erasure or portability, and says nothing about international transfers, standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions. Some European vocabulary does appear — the policy claims a legal basis for processing, invokes legitimate interests and mentions a balancing test — but it stops there. Both the legal entity and the operating entity sit in Hong Kong, outside the European Union, and the only contact published anywhere on the site is a support address.

Who owns the data?

Under section 9 of the Service Terms you keep ownership of everything you upload or generate. Ownership is not the whole story, though: the same clause grants GROW ENGINE LIMITED a free, non-exclusive, perpetual, transferable, irrevocable and worldwide licence to use, reproduce, display, modify, adapt and distribute that content. Because the licence is transferable, and section 14 lets the operator assign its rights during a merger, acquisition or asset sale, a third party could inherit it. You alone remain responsible for the legality of what you upload and for any third-party rights attached to it.

Reuse rights

Because you retain ownership under section 9 of the Service Terms, you may reuse whatever you produce — diagrams, spreadsheets, cleaned video, transcripts — without asking permission, subject to one condition the terms place squarely on you: you are solely responsible for the legality, reliability and appropriateness of the material you upload and the content you generate, including any third-party rights attached to it. That caveat matters most in the downloader module, where the source clip belongs to someone else. On the operator's side, the privacy policy effective February 2026 describes a far wider use of your personal data than the product alone would suggest: alongside running and improving the service, it covers interest-based advertising, real-time ad bidding, cross-device measurement, advertiser reporting and custom audience segments, drawing on device identifiers such as IDFA and GAID. Processing is justified by legitimate interests and by legal obligations. Training AI models on customer data is never mentioned anywhere on the site, in either direction.

Data retention & training

Retention summary
The homepage FAQ states that uploaded content is deleted automatically once your task completes, that files are encrypted while in transit, and that data is not shared with third parties; one of the vendor's own articles similarly describes secure processing without permanent storage. Beyond that, nothing is quantified. No retention period is given for account data, server logs or advertising data, and the privacy policy notes that even information which is not kept must still travel to the company's servers and be stored there temporarily for processing. No Data Processing Agreement or processing annexe turns any of this into a contractual commitment, and the Service Terms allow accounts to be suspended or terminated without notice in several situations without saying what becomes of the data.

Hosting summary

The site declares nothing about where data is hosted. There is no trust or security page, no hosting section in the privacy policy, and no mention of a country, a region, a cloud provider or a data centre anywhere across the pages collected. What is offered instead is generic reassurance: files are described as encrypted during transfer and processed on secure servers, and one of the vendor's own comparison articles refers to secure cloud processing without permanent storage. Two facts sit outside that silence. The legal entity, GROW ENGINE LIMITED, and the operating entity, Dovi Creative Limited, are both registered in Hong Kong, which is the jurisdiction any dispute would fall under. And a network lookup performed on 23 August 2026 resolves the domain to 155.102.45.12, an address geolocated in Paris and announced by AS24429, Zhejiang Taobao Network. That is a technical observation about a single edge address, not a statement by the publisher about where processing or storage actually happens, and it should not be read as one.

Watch-outs

Things to keep in mind

Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting FlowChartAI.

  • The content licence you grant is perpetual, irrevocable, transferable and worldwide, and section 14 lets the operator assign its rights in a merger or asset sale — so a party you never chose could end up holding it
  • Purchases and credit top-ups are non-refundable, and prices may be changed unilaterally at any time
  • No GDPR mention, no DPA, no subprocessor list and no declared hosting location: sensitive or client-owned material has no documented protection here
  • The privacy policy reads like an advertising platform's, covering device identifiers, real-time bidding and custom audience segments rather than a productivity tool's needs
  • Downloading third-party video shifts the entire rights question onto you, and the convenience makes it easy to forget that the clip belongs to someone else
  • Review counts contradict each other across the site — 4,218, 2,679 and 1,269 — and no testimonial is independently traceable, so treat the social proof as marketing
  • Automating diagrams and transcripts saves real time, but leaning on it for thinking you would otherwise do yourself quietly erodes the skill: read the transcript and check the diagram before circulating either
Setup

Setup & Integrations

Technical difficulty

Setup is essentially nil. There is nothing to install, no plugin, no configuration and no API to wire up. You open the site, pick a module, then drop in a file, paste a public link or type a description in plain language; detection, conversion and transcription then run automatically, with no parameters to tune for everyday jobs. An account — by email or Google sign-in — is needed only to track credits and keep a history. The single practical constraint is remembering each module's accepted formats and size ceilings.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is FlowChartAI only a flowchart maker?
No. Diagramming is one of five modules. The others handle file conversion, video and image editing, social video downloading and transcription, all inside the same browser workspace and under the same account.
Is there a genuinely free tier, or only a trial?
Both. The homepage advertises a three-month free trial, and separately there is a permanent free allowance: 200 credits at each daily login, plus two to five free generations a day depending on the module. Beyond those quotas, work draws on paid credits.
What does the cheapest paid plan cost?
The Lite plan is USD 8.99 per month and includes 320 credits usable across the video, diagram and conversion tools. Pro costs USD 12.99 and Prime USD 25.99 per month, though their credit allowances are not published.
What file sizes and formats does it accept?
Video is limited to MP4 and MOV at 20 MB and ten minutes for editing, and 30 MB and ten minutes for transcription. Images must be JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP or GIF at up to 10 MB, five files per batch.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in the browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. An account is needed for credit tracking and history, and you can sign in with an email address or a Google account.
Is there an API?
No. No API documentation exists anywhere on the site, and no native mobile application or browser extension is offered either.
What happens to the files I upload?
The site states that uploads are encrypted in transit, processed on secure servers and deleted automatically once the task finishes, and that data is not shared with third parties. No retention period is quantified, and no Data Processing Agreement or subprocessor list is published.
Is the service GDPR compliant?
The site makes no claim either way. Neither the GDPR nor any equivalent regulation is mentioned anywhere, no data protection officer or EU representative is named, and both the legal and the operating entity are based in Hong Kong.
How many interface languages are available?
Thirteen localised versions are published, covering English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and both simplified and traditional Chinese.
What is the minimum age, and can I get a refund?
The Service Terms set eighteen as the general minimum, with an exception at sixteen for anyone supporting themselves on their own income. Purchases, including credit top-ups, are non-refundable.
Conclusion

Should you pick FlowChartAI?

FlowChartAI makes a straightforward argument, and for a certain kind of user it holds. If your week genuinely touches several formats — a diagram on Monday, a photographed invoice on Wednesday, a recorded call on Friday — then paying one subscription instead of three, and learning one interface instead of three, is a real saving. At USD 8.99 per month the entry point is low for the breadth on offer, and the recurring daily free allowance means light users may never pay at all.

The reservations are equally concrete. File ceilings are the first thing most people will hit: 20 MB of video is a short phone clip, not a finished export. Watermark removal has no manual fallback when detection misses. More importantly, the governance side is thin. Nothing on the site mentions the GDPR, no Data Processing Agreement is offered, no subprocessor list is published and no hosting country is declared — while the privacy policy describes advertising machinery, device identifiers and real-time bidding included, that sits oddly beside a productivity tool. The Service Terms compound this with a perpetual, irrevocable and transferable licence over whatever you upload, and no refunds.

Maturity is the last caveat. The domain was registered in January 2026 and first archived in May 2026, so there is no track record to lean on, and the review counts displayed across the site contradict one another. The pricing page does not even render its figures without JavaScript, a poor signal from a service asking for a card.

Treat it, then, as a capable and inexpensive utility belt for individual and small-team work on material that is not sensitive. For regulated data, client footage or anything needing a contractual guarantee, the documentation simply is not there yet.
