ChartDB

Open source tool that instantly generates ER diagrams by importing your database schema via a single query.

About ChartDB

ChartDB is an open source database diagram editor that lets you reverse engineer your existing database into an Entity Relationship diagram with just one SQL query. It does the heavy lifting of reading your schema and building a visual map of tables, columns, indexes, and foreign keys. You can then edit the diagram, add notes, rearrange tables, and export the result as an image or a JSON file.

The tool supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, and MongoDB. It works entirely in the browser as a single-page application, which means no server setup is required. The interface handles complex schemas well and lets you zoom in on specific parts of the diagram. Export is currently available as PNG or SVG.

ChartDB is free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. It was created for developers who need a quick, no-nonsense way to visualize a legacy database or document schema changes. It does not require signing up or uploading your data to a third party. The project is maintained by a small team and accepts contributions on GitHub.
