Export & handoff
A design is only useful if it reaches the people building it. Skeema exports every artifact in the formats your team already uses — from a slide-ready PNG to Mermaid you can paste into a README.
Formats
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
PNG | Slides, docs, Slack — a crisp raster image with generous padding. Free-plan PNGs carry a small watermark. |
SVG | Infinite-zoom vector for wikis and print; the native format for sequence diagrams. |
Mermaid | Text diagrams that render in GitHub, GitLab, Notion, and most Markdown tools. |
PDF / HTML | Project documentation for formal handoffs and design reviews (Pro). |
Markdown | The diagram as structured Markdown, plus generated project documentation (docs.md). |
What a handoff package contains
For a full project, the export bundle gives engineering everything it needs:
- •The architecture diagram (PNG/SVG, or Mermaid text).
- •The ER schemas plus generated schema code (Prisma/SQL/Mongoose).
- •The sequence flows for key operations.
- •A generated docs.md describing the whole system, regenerable on demand.
Key takeaways
- ✓Export diagrams as PNG, SVG, Mermaid, or Markdown; project docs as PDF, Markdown, or HTML.
- ✓Sequence diagrams export as standalone SVG; everything is versioned and re-exportable.
- ✓A project handoff bundles architecture, ER + code, flows, and generated documentation.
