I have a project which has many steps and I'd like to create a visual representation of the steps in a flowchart form, but the chart will be very long. I need something that I can "draw" on that will continue without "paging". I simply need an extremely long canvas.

Does anyone know of software that will do this?

Thanks.

For flowcharts maybe give yed a try. It is a node based graph editor. You can connect the nodes and label the connections.
You can also export as SVG and many image files. It has a never ending canvas like you want.

The yed graph editor can be downloaded here

It sounds like draw.io is what you're looking for.

A quick preview:



As you can see it's just a simple, intuitive browser tool. It's got some handy features like copy and pasting cell styles, forcing objects to front/back and toggling pages on or off. If you need there are also plenty of tutorials and instructions to be found online though I have to admit it's extremely straight forward. :)

I find it useful for speedy flowcharts but would still bounce back to Indesign or Illustrator for anything heavier.

There are a few similar sites compared here if this one doesn't do the trick for you.

Hum... MyPaint mypaint.org/ has an "infinite canvas" philosophy. You can simply zoom out or pan and you have more space.

But potentially you have the wrong approach.

A decent vector program like Illustrator, Corel Draw, Afinity Designer or Inkscape can:


Have a quite big canvas.
Draw and scale objects to a very tiny size, and zoom in again.
Move around objects so they fit better your needs.


In my opinion, you should use a program that let you organize your work, inclusive using layers, rather than "drawing freely in the wild".
