What is Visual Paradigm?

Visual Paradigm is a diagramming and modeling platform built around UML 2.x, supporting all 13 standard UML diagram types alongside BPMN and ArchiMate. It includes AI Diagram Generation and an AI chatbot that can create UML diagrams from plain English descriptions, plus Round-Trip Engineering that generates source code in Java, C#, or Python from class diagrams and can reverse-engineer existing codebases back into diagrams. A free Community Edition supports non-commercial use.

The desktop product is sold in Modeler, Standard, Professional, and Enterprise editions, available as monthly or quarterly subscriptions or as one-time perpetual licenses with a year of maintenance included. Visual Paradigm Online extends the same modeling capabilities into a browser-based platform. Volume discounts apply for teams buying five or more licenses.
