Diagram superpowers — prompt it, see it appear, watch it animate.

Install

pip install kymostudio
# or
uv tool install kymostudio

Convert (CLI)

kymo path/to/diagram.kymo              # → path/to/diagram.svg
kymo path/to/diagram.kymo --animate    # → path/to/diagram-animated.svg
kymo path/to/diagram.kymo --figma      # → path/to/diagram.figma.js
kymo path/to/diagram.kymo --excalidraw # → path/to/diagram.excalidraw
kymo path/to/process.bpmn                 # → path/to/process.svg (BPMN 2.0)
kymo path/to/diagram.kymo out.png         # render, then rasterize to PNG (resvg)
kymo path/to/diagram.kymo out.png -s 2    # 2× resolution
kymo path/to/image.svg out.png            # rasterize an existing SVG
kymo path/to/image.svg                    # → path/to/image.png
kymo lint path/to/process.bpmn            # report BPMN structural + import issues

PNG output rasterizes via kymostudio-core (the shared resvg engine), installed automatically as a dependency.

See samples/ for complete example .kymo and .bpmn files.

BPMN 2.0 import

A standard .bpmn file (from bpmn.io / Camunda Modeler / Signavio …) renders to SVG using the geometry in the file's Diagram-Interchange section — no layout pass runs. See docs/formats/bpmn/ for the BPMN 2.0.2 normative reference and the element mapping (import + export).

from kymo import parse_bpmn, render

diagram = parse_bpmn(open("process.bpmn").read())
svg = render(diagram)

Python API

from kymo import parse, layout, resolve_alignments, render

diagram, layout_spec, external = parse(open("diagram.kymo").read())
if layout_spec:
    layout(diagram, layout_spec, external)
resolve_alignments(diagram)
svg = render(diagram, animate=True)
