What is Napkin.ai?

Napkin AI turns text into diagrams, charts, flowcharts, mind maps, and other visual formats without requiring prompts. It generates a set of visuals from a pasted or imported document, letting users choose the one that best matches their idea. The editor allows full customization, icons from a large database, style decorators, dynamic connectors, color schemes for light or dark themes, and simple font options.

Users can export completed visuals as PPT, PNG, PDF, or SVG for use in slides, blogs, social media, documents, or presentations. The platform supports over 60 languages, creating visuals that match the language of the source text. Teamspace, real‑time collaborative editing, and built‑in commenting enable multiple team members to co‑create and review Napkins together.
