Venn diagram maker
This venn diagram maker draws two to seven overlapping circles and lets you fill every region, including the small middle overlap most tools ignore. Put a picture or a line of text in each one, recolor the circles, and export the finished diagram. It is built for sharing, not for plotting data sets.

Choose a Venn layout
Overlapping circles are the ordinary Venn diagram: each region is what the labeled sets share or do not share. The connection board is a different layout in the same editor. It uses pins and string, not overlaps.

Ways to make a Venn
Overlapping circles
Two through seven circles, or a blank canvas you arrange yourself. Name each circle, then fill every region, including the small middle overlap, with a picture or a short label. This is the comparison tool: what belongs only to one side, and what belongs to both.
Connection board
A cork, chalk or paper surface with pins and string. Use it when the subject is who is linked to whom rather than what two groups share. It is not an overlapping-circle diagram.
Venn memes
The same overlapping-circle editor, aimed at a punchline in the overlap rather than a careful comparison. That job has its own page so this one can stay a diagram maker.
How to make a venn diagram
- Choose a layout. Two overlapping circles is the classic comparison, three is the one with a middle, and the builder goes up to seven when the subject really has that many sides. There is also a blank canvas if you would rather place and size the circles yourself, and a connection board when the picture should be pins and string instead of overlaps.
- Name each circle. Every circle gets a label outside it, so the diagram reads without a legend. Keep the names short: a venn diagram is understood at a glance or not at all, and long labels are the usual reason one is hard to read at phone size.
- Fill the regions. Click any region, including the slivers where three circles meet, and give it text or a picture. An image can sit neatly inside the region or fill it to the edges, and you can drag the fill around to frame the part of the picture you want.
- Color it and export. Give each circle its own ink and the overlaps mix themselves. When it looks right, download a PNG, or publish it to get a link with a preview card and a page other people can open and remix.
What you can do
- Two to seven overlapping circles, a blank canvas you arrange yourself, or a connection board with pins and string.
- Every region takes text or an image, including the centre overlap.
- Images can sit inside a region or fill it edge to edge and be dragged to frame.
- Unlock a circle to move, resize, rotate or squash it; regions recompute live.
- Overlaps mix their colors like printed ink instead of covering each other.
- Outside labels so each circle is named without a legend.
- Connection board mode maps links between items, not shared regions, so it is not an ordinary Venn diagram.
- No login, nothing to install, and no cap on how many you make.
- Download a PNG, a JPEG or a PDF, or publish it for a link with a preview card.
Make your own venn diagram
Two things people keep confusing
The straightforward job: two circles, the differences on the outside, the shared part in the middle. It works for anything people argue about the boundary of, and putting a picture in each region makes the comparison land faster than a paragraph would.
Three groups and the people in the middle
Three circles give you seven regions, and the interesting ones are the small overlaps. Fill each with a face, a screenshot or a name and you have made a very compact argument about who belongs where.
Interests, hobbies and taste
Music genres, film genres, games, food. A venn is the natural shape for taste because almost nothing sits in exactly one circle, and the pictures do the explaining while the labels stay short.
A friend group, mapped
Label the circles with traits rather than people, then drop everyone into the region that fits. Because a person can only be in one region, the diagram forces a decision that a list of tags never would.
Bigger diagrams, four to seven circles
The larger templates get genuinely complicated, which is sometimes the point. Every region is still clickable and fillable, so a seven circle build stays usable even when the picture starts to look like a stained glass window.
A web of people or ideas, not a set comparison
When the job is who is linked to whom, overlapping circles are the wrong picture. The connection-board layout is a cork, chalk or paper surface: pin people, teams or ideas, then run string between the actual links. It lives in this editor because it is a Venn-adjacent layout, not because it is another overlapping-circle diagram.
Common questions
How many circles can I use?
Between two and seven. Two, three and four cover almost everything people actually make; the larger sets exist for the times when the subject really does have that many sides. There is also a blank canvas where you place and size the circles yourself, which is the one to pick if you want an unusual arrangement. If the subject is a network of links rather than overlapping sets, pick the connection board instead of adding more circles.
Can I put images in the overlaps?
Yes. Every region is a target you can click, including the narrow ones where three or more circles meet, and each takes a picture, a line of text, or both. A picture either fits inside the region or fills it to the edges, and you can drag it to choose which part shows.
Is this for set theory, statistics or schoolwork?
No, and it is worth saying plainly. There is no data import, no counting of set members, no probability, and no export to a document format. If you need a diagram that calculates intersections from a data set, a statistics tool is the right thing and this is not it.
Can I make a three circle venn diagram?
Yes, and it is the most used layout here. The three circle template arrives with the classic arrangement already positioned, so all seven regions are the right shape from the start. You can still move and resize the circles afterwards if you want the middle overlap bigger.
What happens where the circles overlap?
The colors mix, the way two inks mix on paper, rather than the top circle simply covering the one underneath. That is what makes the overlaps read as real regions instead of as a stack, and it is why the diagram stays legible when four or more circles cross.
What is the connection board, and is it a Venn diagram?
It is a different layout in the same editor, not an ordinary overlapping-circle diagram. Circles show shared and unshared traits. A connection board pins items to a cork, chalk or paper surface and runs string between them, so the picture is about who is linked to whom rather than who sits in an overlap. Pick it when the subject is a network of people or ideas, not a set comparison.
Do I need to sign in?
Not to make one. The editor opens without a login, keeps your work in this browser while you are making it, and exports without asking anything of you. Publishing is the one action that needs an account, because a published diagram is a public page with a name on it. Signing in at that point also gathers your published diagrams on one profile page and lets you carry on editing them from a second device.
Is there a watermark on the download?
The PNG carries the site address, tiermaps.com, in small type in the bottom corner. Nothing sits on top of the diagram, and a published page shows the preview image with no mark at all. Everything else about the export is unrestricted: full size, no crop, no sign-in wall.
