Methodology flowcharts, drawn to thesis standard.
Describe your research design or start from a recognised template. Edit the diagram, then export it to Word, PDF, SVG or LaTeX with a numbered caption.
What you get
Generate from your method
Paste your methodology paragraph. MethodFlow returns an editable draft with phases, decisions and labelled branches.
Start from a standard
PRISMA 2020, CONSORT, quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods and design science templates with the conventional stages in place.
Export for your thesis
Word with an auto-numbered caption, PDF, PNG, SVG, Mermaid and TikZ. Black and white or light tints for print.
How it works
- Describe or choose. Pick a research design and paste your method, or open a template.
- Edit. Rename steps, change shapes, add decisions, group steps into phases. Undo and redo are always available.
- Export. Download the figure in the format your thesis template needs.

Questions
What is a methodology flowchart?
A diagram that shows the stages of your research in order: from problem definition through sampling and data collection to analysis and reporting. Supervisors and examiners use it to check that your design is coherent.
Can I paste the result into Word or LaTeX?
Yes. Word export places the figure with an automatically numbered caption. LaTeX users can copy TikZ code. PNG, SVG and PDF are also available.
How accurate is the generated diagram?
It is a draft. The generator follows the standard stages of your chosen design and the details you provide, but it can be wrong. Check every step against your own method before submitting.
Do I need an account?
No. Your work is saved in your browser. Export a JSON file to back it up or move it to another device.
Is my methodology text stored?
Text you submit for generation is sent to an AI provider to produce the diagram and is not kept in a database by this site. Diagrams you share by link are stored for 90 days.
