About Napkin AI
Napkin AI is a web-based visual communication tool that converts written text into editable diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, infographics and data charts. Users paste or write text, or import a file such as a PPT, DOC, PDF, HTML or Markdown document, then click the Autospark icon to generate visual options without writing a prompt. Every generated element, including colors, fonts, layouts and icons, can be edited afterwards.
