What export formats and integrations does code2flow support?

Updated

code2flow supports SVG, PNG, and PDF export, and offers plugins for JIRA and Confluence so diagrams can be embedded directly in tickets and documentation. According to the site's own description, it also provides an "unlimited free trial," and Stripe appears as a payment platform — but the page evidence doesn't state exact prices or plan limits, so treat those as unconfirmed.

Export formats

Format Best for Notes
SVG Docs, wikis, web pages Vector output, scales cleanly at any size
PNG Tickets, chat, quick sharing Raster image, universally supported
PDF Printable specs, formal documents Fixed-layout, easy to attach or archive

The practical distinction: choose SVG when the diagram will be resized or embedded in a page, PNG when you just need something that pastes anywhere, and PDF when the diagram is part of a document you'll print or circulate.

Integrations

  • JIRA plugin — generate or attach flowcharts inside JIRA issues, useful for showing logic behind a bug or a feature request without leaving the ticket.
  • Confluence plugin — embed diagrams in Confluence pages, useful for design docs, runbooks, and onboarding material.

Both integrations matter for the same reason: they keep the diagram next to the discussion it explains, instead of forcing readers to open a separate tool.

Choosing based on your workflow

  • Writing a design doc or runbook in Confluence → use the Confluence plugin and embed SVG so the diagram stays sharp.
  • Explaining logic in a JIRA ticket → use the JIRA plugin; PNG is usually enough for a ticket comment.
  • Producing a spec or report to hand off → export PDF.
  • Publishing to a website or wiki outside these tools → export SVG.

What to verify before committing

The site advertises an unlimited free trial, but the available evidence doesn't specify pricing tiers, export limits per plan, or whether all formats are available on every plan. Before relying on it for a team, confirm:

  1. Whether SVG, PNG, and PDF are all included in the plan you'd use.
  2. Whether the JIRA and Confluence plugins require specific product versions or admin installation.
  3. Current pricing and any per-seat limits, since only "free trial" and Stripe are indicated.
