Import

What can you import?

Drop or paste images, Markdown, or existing Eraser content directly into a file – embedded as-is, no AI. What’s supported depends on where you drop or paste.

Note: To turn a file into an editable diagram instead of embedding it, use File-to-diagram.

On the canvas

• Images – PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG, embedded as an image. (For WebP, use File-to-diagram.)
• draw.io (.drawio) – converted to an editable diagram.
• Eraser content – diagrams or elements copied from another Eraser file, inserted directly.

In a document

• Images – a broad range of types (PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG, WebP, and more).
• Markdown – converted to formatted content (headings, lists, bold, links).
• Rich text / HTML – pasted with formatting preserved.
