Quick Start Guide

How to convert your handrawn diagrams  into Lucidchart files

If you’ve got a photo of your whiteboard or paper notes, you’re just a few clicks away from turning it into a clean, editable diagram.

This guide will show you exactly how. No setup, no installation, just upload and generate a digital diagram in minutes with Comak.

Here's what you need:

A clear photo of your hand drawn content on your whiteboard or paper

A Comak account

A Teams or Enterprise  Lucid account (for exporting your diagram to Lucidchart)

Step 1:

Log in to Comak

→ Go to app.jibb.ai/comak and log in with your JIBB ID.

Step 2:

Upload your photo or PDF

→ Drag and drop your image or use the upload button.

Pro Tip:
Use clear, high-contrast handwriting and simple layouts. Comak works best when it can detect shapes, arrows, and lines easily.

Step 3:

Generate your Diagram

→ After Comak analyzes your upload, click on the “Generate a Diagram” button (this may take up to 2 min).

Pro Tip:
If Comak doesn't give you the option to generate a diagram, try taking a new/clearer photo, or make sure what you've drawn resembles a known diagram format.

Step 4:

Grant Access to your Lucid Account

→ When your digital diagram is ready, hover over "Send to" and click on Lucidchart.

As it is your first time, you will be prompted to connect and grant access to your Lucid account, so Comak can send generated diagrams to your documents folder and allow you to edit them.

Step 5:

Send the Diagram to Lucidchart

→ Once you've connected your Lucid account, click on "Send Diagram to Lucidchart" again, select the folder you'd like, then click "Export to Lucidchart".

Once it's sent, your diagram will be ready to open and continue working on in Lucidchart.

More Pro Tips:

Use dark markers on light surfaces for the best results. Avoid glare or reflections

Use a document camera or take a photo from directly above your paper.

You can also upload Auto-Save PDFs from JIBB Workspace or JIBB Room if you’re using those tools too.
