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.
