How to Use the Flowchart Templates in Creately
- Choose a template that suits your needs
Pick a flowchart template that matches your process—simple linear flow, swimlane/cross-functional, or a decision-heavy workflow. Click “Edit This Template” to open it in the editor.
- Sign in or create a free Creately account
Log in to Creately, or sign up free. Saving and sharing your flowchart needs an account, which you can create in seconds.
- Open the template and customize it
Map your process by editing the standard flowchart symbols—ovals for start/end, rectangles for steps, diamonds for decisions—and relabel each to your own steps.
- Drag in process, decision, terminator and input/output shapes
- Label decision diamonds with Yes/No or condition branches
- Use auto-connectors that stay attached as you move shapes
- Group related steps into swimlanes by role or department
- Color-code stages or highlight the critical path
- Branch cleanly with smart connectors
Creately’s smart connectors snap to shapes and re-route automatically, so decision branches and loops stay tidy even as you rearrange a large flowchart.
- Collaborate with your team
Work on it together. Bring in teammates or stakeholders to edit the flowchart at the same time, discuss details with in-app comments, and @mention people for input.
- Save, export, or present
Export or present when ready. Download your flowchart as PNG, JPEG, SVG or PDF for reports and slides, share a view-only link, or present it directly from Creately.
FAQs about Flowchart Templates
They are. You can access and edit the majority of flowchart templates for free on a basic account, with no download needed. Premium templates and some pro features are available on paid plans if you need them later.
Absolutely. Your flowchart exports as PNG, JPEG, PDF or SVG, so you can insert it into Word or PowerPoint, attach it to documentation, or share it as a standalone file.
The templates cover the common flowchart variants:
- Process flowcharts - document a step-by-step procedure
- Swimlane flowcharts - show who does what across roles or teams
- Decision flowcharts - branch on Yes/No conditions and outcomes
- Workflow diagrams - visualize a repeatable business or approval flow
- Data/system flowcharts - trace inputs, processing and outputs
Yes. Drop in horizontal or vertical swimlanes to assign each step to a person, role or department, then move steps between lanes as ownership changes—useful for approval and cross-functional flows.
