About The Project

draw.io Notion Embed

Embedding draw.io diagrams inside Notion is a bit of pain because it doesn't work. If you have tried to embed a diagram in Notion, you will notice that it breaks.

This is probably the error you see in Notion

This is quite frustrating when you are doing project planning or writing technical documentation in Notion and wish to link to your diagrams in Notion.

This very very simple HTML page fixes this. It allows you to specify your draw.io Embed URL and then it will render it in a fullscreen, responsive iFrame that can be embedded into Notion and look good!

Built With

We don't need no heavy JS framework (not hating on them though). However, this project has been built with the purest forms of web technologies:

  • HTML: uhm... Inspect Element to learn more?
  • CSS: again... Inspect Element...
  • Vanilla JS

Getting Started

You can either use the already deployed version on Netlify (https://drawio-notion-embed.netlify.app/) or if you really want to you can deploy it yourself. It's a single HTML file so just drop it on any public web server and you should be good to go.

If you want to deploy to Netlify, you can simply click the button below:

Deploy to Netlify
