About Edit Banana
Edit Banana converts static images and PDFs of diagrams into fully editable files. Upload a flowchart, architecture drawing or diagram layout and it rebuilds the content as Draw.io XML or a PowerPoint file in which every shape, arrow and text label can be selected, dragged, restyled and rewritten individually, rather than sitting in a flat picture.
It is aimed at engineers, researchers, students and anyone who has a diagram only as a screenshot or in a paper and needs to modify it. The reconstruction preserves the original layout logic, colour matching and element hierarchy, reproduces shape strokes, fills and arrow styles including dashed lines and thickness, and recognises text and formulas so they stay editable. Output supports native Draw.io template replacement. Under the hood, a fine tuned SAM 3 mask decoder segments the elements, multiple rounds of vision language model scanning with models such as Qwen and GPT class models interpret them, Azure OCR reads the text, and a final stage merges the spatial and text data into XML or PPTX. The interface is available in a dozen languages.
The core is open source and published on GitHub by BIT DataLab, so it can be run locally. The hosted service works on purchased credit packages, but its pricing page currently states that no public packages are available, so hosted pricing is unpublished at the time of writing.
Quality depends on how clean the source image is; the vendor's own demos show the occasional unexpected mask that needs manual correction after conversion.
