Lucidchart is entirely browser-based, running on browsers that support HTML5.[13] This means it does not require plugins or updates of a third-party software like Adobe Flash.[14] The platform supports real-time collaboration, allowing all users to work simultaneously on projects and see each user’s additions reflected in real time.[14] All data is encrypted and stored in secure data centers.[13]
Additional features include:[15][10]
- A drag-and-drop interface
- Real-time co-authoring, shape-specific comments, and collaborative cursors
- Data linking
- Auto-visualization to generate org charts and ERDs

Lucidchart also supports importing files from draw.io, Gliffy, OmniGraffle, and Microsoft Visio.[16] The platform is integrated with Google Workspace and Drive, Microsoft Teams and other Office products, Atlassian’s Jira and Confluence, Salesforce, GitHub, Slack, and others.[14][16][17]
