SmartDraw, popular software downloaded by more than 2 million people each year, is the first software program to automate the creation of education graphics, allowing users to create charts and diagrams such as flowcharts, science diagrams, technical drawings and more in minutes.
Unlike other graphics programs that provide users with a blank screen and expect them to draw, with SmartDraw users start with a template that is specifically designed to create the type of illustration they need. Users enter the information and SmartDraw does the rest: building the graphic automatically using built-in rules and professional design themes to guarantee polished, presentation-quality results in just a few minutes.
