Putting the diagram into Word and PowerPoint
Updated 2026-09-02
Export straight to Word or PowerPoint
Open the menu next to “Download PNG” and choose “Export Word (docx)” or “Export PowerPoint (pptx)”. The file contains:
- a high-resolution image of the diagram in the current theme (3x resolution, with the theme background), scaled to the page width in Word or centred on the first slide in PowerPoint;
- the original Mermaid code at the end (on a second slide in PowerPoint), plus a one-line credit.
The code is there so you can edit later: copy it back into Diagramate, change it, and export again. The image itself cannot be edited inside Office.
Into an existing document
- Word, PowerPoint, Google Docs, Notion: use “Copy PNG to clipboard” and paste directly. This is the quickest route.
- Transparent background: download the PNG with “Transparent” (the default) so it sits on coloured pages without a white box.
- Sharp at any size: switch the scale to 3x before downloading, or export SVG. SVG is vector, stays sharp at any zoom, and can be inserted in Office 2016 and later.
The background follows the theme
Whatever background you see in the preview is what lands in the file. Dark themes (Dark, Ink Black) export dark docx and pptx files; switch back to Light before inserting into a white document.
