Make a 2 or 3 circle Venn diagram in a minute. Name your groups, type what goes in each part, pick colors, then download a PNG or SVG or print it. Free, no sign-up, and it all runs in your browser.

Two circles compare two things. Three circles show what three groups share. Examples replace your diagram; Undo brings it back.

How It Works

Make a Venn diagram in three steps

No drawing, no lining up circles by hand, no account.

1

Pick 2 or 3 circles

Start blank or from an example, then name each circle after the group it stands for.

2

Fill in each part

Type what belongs only to each group and what they share, one item per line. The text sizes itself to fit.

3

Download or print

Save a PNG for slides and docs, an SVG to edit in Canva or Figma, or print it for class.

Tips

Tips for a clear Venn diagram

Small choices that make a diagram easy to read at a glance.

01

Start with the middle

Fill the overlap first. What things share is usually the point of the diagram, and it is the hardest part to think of.

02

Keep items short

Two to four words per item reads best. Long sentences shrink the text until nobody can read it from the back of the room.

03

Balance the sides

Give each circle about the same number of items, so the diagram does not look like one side won.

04

Print an empty one

Name the circles, leave the parts blank and pick Outline only. Students fill it in by hand.

Glossary

Venn diagram terms, briefly
