Just Flow It can read several types of files and turn them into editable BPMN 2.0 diagrams. Snap a photo of a whiteboard sketch, drop in a procedure document, or bring in an existing .bpmn file — the AI handles the conversion so you can skip the manual redrawing. Choose the import type that matches what you have on hand.
Whiteboard photo and PDF import use AI processing and require an active Pro or Team subscription. Importing an existing .bpmn file is available on all plans, including Free.

If you’ve sketched a process on a physical whiteboard, Just Flow It can read the photo and generate a clean BPMN diagram from it — no manual retracing required.What works best:
- Photos taken straight-on with good lighting and minimal glare
- Clear box-and-arrow sketches rather than dense handwritten notes
- Legible labels on each shape so the AI can assign the correct task names
Open the import panel
On the home screen or inside the editor, click Import and select Whiteboard Photo.
Upload your photo
Click Choose File and select a JPG, PNG, or HEIC image from your device, or drag and drop the photo directly onto the upload area.
Let the AI process the image
Just Flow It analyses the photo, identifies the shapes and flow, and generates a BPMN 2.0 diagram. This typically takes a few seconds.
Review and refine
The diagram opens in the editor. Check that all steps, decisions, and roles have been captured correctly. Use the text input to describe any missing details and click Regenerate to update the diagram.
For best results, take the photo in landscape orientation and crop out any surrounding whiteboard frame before uploading.
Drop in a procedure document, policy manual, or standard operating procedure (SOP) as a PDF and Just Flow It extracts the process steps and converts them into a BPMN diagram.What works best:
- PDFs with numbered steps or clearly structured sections
- Documents that describe a single end-to-end process rather than a broad policy overview
- Text-based PDFs (not scanned images) for the most accurate extraction
Open the import panel
On the home screen or inside the editor, click Import and select PDF Procedure.
Upload your PDF
Click Choose File and select a PDF from your device, or drag and drop it onto the upload area. Files up to 20 MB are supported.
Let the AI extract the process
Just Flow It reads the document, identifies the process steps, decision points, and roles mentioned in the text, and generates a BPMN 2.0 diagram.
Review and refine
The diagram opens in the editor. Procedure documents often contain more detail than a single diagram can show — review the output and add or remove steps as needed using the text input or by editing elements directly.
Scanned PDFs (i.e., images of printed pages) may produce less accurate results than text-based PDFs. If accuracy is important, copy the key process steps into the text input instead.
If you already have a BPMN 2.0 file from Camunda, Bizagi, Signavio, draw.io, or another tool, you can import it directly into Just Flow It and continue editing it without starting from scratch.Open the import panel
On the home screen or inside the editor, click Import and select BPMN File (.bpmn).
Upload your .bpmn file
Click Choose File and select your .bpmn file, or drag and drop it onto the upload area.
Review the imported diagram
Just Flow It parses the BPMN XML and renders the diagram in the editor with all elements, positions, pools, lanes, and labels preserved. Verify that everything looks as expected.
Continue editing
Use the text input to ask the AI to extend or modify the diagram, or edit elements manually in the canvas. When you’re done, export back to .bpmn or any other supported format.
BPMN file import is available on all plans, including Free. The imported file must conform to the BPMN 2.0 standard for best compatibility.
