Dia for Windows for Windows 10 - Full description

Dia is an open-source diagramming program for people who need to turn relationships, processes, systems, or ideas into structured visual diagrams. It is a general-purpose alternative to drawing diagrams by hand, with dedicated shape sets for common technical and organizational tasks. Its approach is suited to informal diagramming as well as clear, organized illustrations of how components or steps relate.

The program includes objects for entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, and network diagrams. These ready-made shapes let users assemble a diagram from recognizable symbols rather than drawing every element from scratch. Connectors and placement tools help show links and direction between objects, making the result useful for documenting a process, outlining software structure, or mapping a network. Other diagram types can be created with the available general-purpose objects.

Dia also allows users to add custom shapes by writing simple XML files. Shape artwork uses a subset of SVG, which provides a way to create reusable symbols for a particular project or subject area. Diagrams can be saved in Dia's own XML format, which is compressed by default to reduce file size. This format is suitable for retaining an editable working copy, while export options make it possible to share or use the finished drawing in other applications.

For output, Dia can export diagrams to formats including EPS, SVG, XFIG, WMF, and PNG. These cover vector artwork, image files, and formats used by other drawing tools. The program can also print diagrams, including designs that span multiple pages, which is useful when a drawing is too large for a single sheet. Together, editable project files, image and vector exports, and multi-page printing support both ongoing diagram work and distribution of completed diagrams.

Dia is free and open source, and its Windows edition supports Windows 10. A manual is available in English, French, Polish, and Basque, in PDF and Windows Help formats as well as an online HTML version. The software is intended for users who need a focused desktop tool for creating and exchanging structured diagrams without relying on a proprietary diagram format.
