D2 Inkscape Extension: Code Diagrams Inside Inkscape

March 5, 2026

Generate Code-Based Diagrams Directly Inside Inkscape Using D2 — For Researchers & Technical Writers

You’ve spent 20 minutes manually recreating a system architecture diagram in Inkscape because you changed the layout. Or you exported a PNG from a diagram tool, imported it, and now it’s locked—you can’t edit text or connections without starting over.

The D2 Inkscape extension eliminates this friction: write your diagram as code, generate it live inside Inkscape, and keep full editability. No more conversion workflows. No more locked-in exports.
