BPMN Modeler for Process Modeling

Modeling tools

Create and maintain BPMN models online

Use a browser-based BPMN modeler to document processes, work through changes with colleagues, and keep diagrams ready for review.

A BPMN editor in your browser

Build and edit BPMN 2.0 diagrams with a drag-and-drop editor.

  • Use the BPMN element palette, including tasks, gateways, events, pools, and swimlanes.
  • Configure elements in the properties panel.
  • Copy diagrams as images or export them as PNG or PDF.
  • Use keyboard shortcuts, in-model search (Ctrl+F), minimap navigation, and undo and redo.
  • Add charts, filters, and AI report elements to the canvas, and toggle charts, unmapped activities, or model-only elements.
  • Work in your browser without installing desktop software.

Arrange diagrams with auto-layout

Keep diagrams readable as you create and update them.

  • Apply a horizontal or vertical BPMN layout with one click.
  • Arrange models with dozens of activities.
  • Use alignment and distribution tools to adjust the layout yourself.
  • Reapply auto-layout as the process changes.

Generate a first draft with AI

Describe the process in plain language to generate a BPMN 2.0 model.

  • Start with a text description instead of a blank canvas.
  • Review the generated tasks, gateways, and flows.
  • Edit the model in the drag-and-drop editor.
  • Use the generated draft for process documentation or brainstorming.

What is BPMN 2.0?

BPMN 2.0 is a standard notation for describing business processes with diagrams. It gives analysts, modelers, and technical teams a shared way to read and discuss how work flows.

BPMN 2.0 modeling

Model processes together

Import and export BPMN 2.0 XML

Bring in existing diagrams and export standard BPMN 2.0 XML. Move models between tools and teams without locking them into ProcessMind.

Keep your process models portable.

Auto-layout for readable diagrams

Arrange a diagram with one click. Choose a horizontal or vertical layout, then make manual adjustments as needed.

Spend less time aligning shapes and more time reviewing the process.

Collaborate in real time

Edit models together, discuss changes in comment threads, and use @mentions, replies, and resolve to keep feedback with the diagram.

Keep model reviews and decisions in context.

Generate models with AI

Describe a process in plain language to generate a BPMN diagram. Review and refine the result in the editor.

Start with a draft instead of building every element from a blank canvas.

Share diagrams as images

Copy a diagram as an image or export it as a PNG for presentations and stakeholder reviews.

Share process documentation in the tools your team already uses.

Use BPMN 2.0 elements

Model with gateways, pools, swimlanes, participants, annotations, subprocesses, and other supported BPMN elements.

Document processes with a standard notation.

What changes when you model online

A shared workspace for process models

Desktop modelers

Install and configure desktop software

Getting started may require local installation and IT support.

ProcessMind

Work in your browser

Open the modeler without installing desktop software.

Desktop modelers

Work through files

Sharing files can make it harder to track model changes.

ProcessMind

Collaborate on models

Edit together and discuss changes in comment threads.

Desktop modelers

Arrange diagrams manually

Formatting and alignment can take time as a model changes.

ProcessMind

Use auto-layout

Arrange a diagram with one click, then adjust it as needed.

Desktop modelers

Start with a blank canvas

Build each diagram element by element.

ProcessMind

Generate a draft from text

Describe the process in plain language, then review and edit the generated model.

Desktop modelers

Keep versions in separate files

Comparing changes can mean tracking down the right file.

ProcessMind

Use version history

Review model versions and restore an earlier one when needed.

Desktop modelers

Model processes in a separate tool

A diagram alone does not show how the process runs in practice.

ProcessMind

Compare models with mined process data

Use Process Mining to compare event data with your process model.

Build a process foundation

Start with process modeling

Document and standardize processes with BPMN 2.0 models. As your needs grow, connect process documentation with process architecture and process intelligence.

Frequently asked questions

Use the browser-based editor to document processes with BPMN elements. Drag and drop tasks, events, gateways, pools, and swimlanes, then configure each element in the properties panel. Search within a model, navigate with the minimap, and undo or redo edits.

You can also export diagrams as PNG or PDF, or copy them as images for presentations and reviews.

Yes. Import BPMN 2.0 XML to continue working on existing models, then export standard BPMN 2.0 XML when you need to use a diagram elsewhere. This standard format lets you move models between tools and teams without locking them into ProcessMind.

If you are moving from Visio, bring in your existing diagrams. What transfers depends on the diagram and format, so check the details before planning a migration. See what transfers from Visio.

Describe a process in plain language to generate a BPMN 2.0 model. Review the generated tasks, gateways, and flows, then refine the draft in the editor. AI-generated models can give you a starting point for process documentation or an initial design. Check the result against the process you intend to document.

Use auto-layout to arrange a diagram horizontally or vertically with one click. For more control, adjust the layout yourself with alignment and distribution tools. Reapply auto-layout as the process changes, including to models with dozens of activities.

Edit models with colleagues in real time. Comment threads, @mentions, replies, and resolve keep feedback connected to the diagram. Version history lets you compare changes and restore an earlier version when needed. You can also share a read-only link for review.

The editor supports BPMN 2.0 elements including tasks, events, gateways, pools, participants, swimlanes, annotations, and subprocesses. Read the notation reference for the full list of supported elements.

A BPMN model shows how you expect a process to work. Process Mining uses event data to show how work actually flows. Compare the model with process data to see where actual behavior differs from the documented process. This connects process modeling software with process analysis: your model describes the intended flow, while event data provides evidence of what happened.

If you do not have event data ready, use process simulation to explore what-if scenarios with your models. Process Mining and simulation help you assess processes; they do not execute or automate them.

An online modeler may suit your team if you want to create and share diagrams in a browser, collaborate on changes, and keep models portable with BPMN 2.0 XML import and export. A desktop modeler may be a better fit if your team depends on desktop-specific workflows or file formats.

If you are comparing business modeling software, start with the work you need to do: create a diagram, continue an existing model, or review a process with colleagues. Then try the editor to see whether it fits your modeling process.
