How to Create a Network Diagram in Creately?

  1. Start With a Network Diagram Template or Blank Canvas

Choose a ready-made network diagram template or open a blank workspace based on the type of network you need to plan, document, or explain.

  1. Add Network Devices and Infrastructure Components

Drag and drop routers, switches, servers, firewalls, databases, cloud services, endpoints, and other network symbols onto the canvas.

  1. Connect Devices and Label the Network Flow

Use connectors, arrows, labels, and line styles to show wired connections, wireless links, dependencies, traffic flow, subnets, VLANs, or security boundaries.

  1. Add IP Details, Notes, Files, and Context

Attach IP addresses, device specs, configuration notes, screenshots, links, and related documentation directly to shapes so important details stay connected to the diagram.

  1. Review, Share, Present, or Export

Invite others to review the diagram with comments and shared access, present the network layout with frames, or export it as a PDF, PNG, SVG, or JPEG for documentation and handover.

Watch this quick video walkthrough to see how to create a network diagram in Creately, use network symbols and connectors, add details to devices, and share your diagram with others.

VISUALIZE AND IDEATE

Map Complex Networks Without the Manual Mess

Network diagrams get messy fast when devices, IPs, dependencies, and zones are tracked in separate notes or outdated files. Create a clean visual layout that shows how your infrastructure is connected and what each part does.

  • Start with editable templates for LAN, WAN, cloud, security, and office networks.

  • Use standard network symbols for routers, switches, servers, firewalls, databases, endpoints, and cloud services.

  • Connect devices with smart connectors, labels, arrows, and line styles to show traffic flow and dependencies.

  • Build cloud and architecture diagrams with AWS, Azure, GCP, Cisco, and Kubernetes shape libraries.

  • Add shape data to capture IP addresses, ownership, requirements, configuration notes, and device details.

COLLABORATE

Review Network Designs With Everyone in Context

Network diagrams need feedback from engineers, admins, security teams, clients, and stakeholders. Keep comments, questions, and updates tied to the exact device, connection, or zone being reviewed.

  • Collaborate in real time while planning, documenting, or troubleshooting network layouts.

  • Use comments and @mentions to discuss specific devices, links, IP details, or security zones.

  • Share diagrams with edit, review, or view access based on each person’s role.

  • Use version history to track changes and restore earlier diagram states when needed.

  • Keep teams aligned before network changes, audits, client reviews, or handovers.

EXTEND

Turn Network Diagrams Into Working Documentation

A network diagram should be useful long after it is drawn. Keep technical context, supporting files, and sharing options connected to the diagram so it can support troubleshooting, audits, presentations, and future updates.

  • Attach notes, files, links, and shape data directly to devices and connections.

  • Use frames to present large network diagrams section by section.

  • Embed diagrams in internal docs, wikis, project pages, and client portals.

  • Share diagrams through links, email invites, or secure workspace access.

  • Export diagrams as PDF, PNG, SVG, or JPEG for reports, presentations, audits, and offline documentation.
