Decisions
What makes a good flowchart example
Each template here has a single start, labelled answers on every decision, and an end for each real outcome. Several show a loop, because that is the part people most often draw wrong. If you want the shapes explained, see flowchart symbols; to build your own from scratch, go to the flowchart maker.
Questions people ask
Are these flowchart templates free to use?
Yes. Open any template, change the wording in the editor and download it as PNG, SVG or Mermaid for school, work or commercial use. No attribution needed.
Can I change a template?
Every template opens in the full editor. Rename steps, add decisions or delete branches and the chart redraws as you type.
Which template should students use for algorithm flowcharts?
Start with largest of three numbers for nested decisions and sum of 1 to N for loops. They follow the shape conventions examiners expect.
