Lucidchart - converting flow chart image into an actual Lucidchart flow chart file

Hi @peter h101 thanks for posting in the community and calling for the wider community to share their experience in this thread! I also recommend reading through this Help Center article for some additional information about this.

If you are trying to import a file and having trouble please feel free to post in the community with a brief description and screenshot of the issue you are seeing. Our team would be happy to assist with troubleshooting or answering any questions! Thank you!

I was looking for the same functionality. Shame that Leianne's response didn't answer the question at all. The question is can we take an image file of a diagram - jpeg png etc - and create a functional chart from there. The is a different type of file than the options of visio gliffy draw.io.

If someone does have an answer I'll be following this question.

I have not found a way to get Lucid or Visio to automatically trace a bitmapped image into a vector-based workflow/diagram.  I’ve only been able to drag and drop my image from my desktop onto the Lucid canvas and then manually draw the shapes over the bitmap image before I delete it.  

Not sure if that’s what you meant but that’s the experience I’ve had so far.

I'm checking back after 6 months, hoping that AI evolution has helped the Lucid team implement this feature. Please share any updates on this feature or any plans in the future to have this feature. 

Hi @utkarsh, thanks for following up! At this moment, this is not yet possible in Lucid, and I am unable to provide a timeline for when this might be implemented.
