What is an ER Diagram?

An Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram is a visual blueprint of a database. It shows the entities (tables), their attributes (columns), and the relationships between them. ER diagrams are used by database architects, backend developers, and software teams during the design phase to plan and communicate database structure before writing any code.

How to use this tool

  • Define each table using the entity keyword followed by a name and curly braces
  • Inside each entity, list fields with an optional prefix: PK for primary key, FK for foreign key, UK for unique key
  • After the field name, specify the SQL data type (INT, VARCHAR, DATETIME, etc.)
  • Define relationships using the relation keyword with one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many
  • Use the template buttons to load a full working example and customise from there
Yes — use the SVG button to download a scalable vector file (perfect for documentation and presentations), or PNG for a raster image suitable for embedding in reports. Both export options are in the toolbar above the diagram.
The tool supports all four standard crow's foot notation relationship types: one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many. Each is rendered with the correct crow's foot symbols on the relationship lines.
No. The entire tool runs client-side in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. Your schema text stays entirely on your machine.
Any SQL data type works as a label — INT, BIGINT, VARCHAR(n), TEXT, BOOLEAN, DECIMAL, FLOAT, DATE, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, JSON, UUID, and so on. The tool treats the type as a display string, so you can write any type you use in your actual database.
Done!
