Kroki is a unified HTTP API service that converts textual diagram descriptions (PlantUML, Mermaid, GraphViz, Ditaa, Excalidraw, and many more) into images like SVG. It can be used via a free public instance or self-hosted with Docker, Podman, or Kubernetes.

Use cases

  • render diagrams from text descriptions via an api
  • convert plantuml or mermaid source to svg
  • embed diagrams in documentation from plain text
  • self-host a diagram rendering service
  • avoid installing multiple diagram tool dependencies
  • generate architecture diagrams as code in ci

When to choose

  • you want one api supporting many diagram syntaxes instead of installing each tool
  • you need diagram rendering in docs, wikis, or CI pipelines
  • you want a self-hosted or public diagram-as-a-service endpoint

When to avoid

  • you need a graphical diagram editor rather than text-based rendering
  • you only use one diagram tool that's easy to install locally
  • you need offline rendering without any server or container
