Questions

How do I convert BPMN to EXCALIDRAW?

Drop your BPMN file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the EXCALIDRAW downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the diagram editor.

Is my BPMN file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Can I convert several BPMN files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every EXCALIDRAW inside.
