FAQ

What Mermaid errors does this validator show?
It uses Mermaid’s own browser parser and preserves its parse message, line number, source context, and caret marker when available.
Does the Mermaid validator render a preview?
Yes. Valid source renders as a live SVG preview while you edit, so you can check the diagram before exporting it.
Can I export the validated diagram here?
This page does not create downloads. After validation, use its links to the dedicated Mermaid to PNG, SVG, or WebP tools.
Do I need to log in?
No. Syntax validation and live preview are available without an account.
Is my Mermaid source uploaded?
No. Pasted and uploaded Mermaid source is parsed and previewed locally in your browser on this validator page.
