Nowadays, many different tools are used to produce different diagrams. Each of them uses its own format for storage, which means that it can be very difficult to read a diagram later. In addition, these tools are usually chargeable and incompatible with eachother. This is why the PlantUML tool has started to gain traction in the market as a free, open-source tool that supports the creation of UML diagrams with a simple text notation. As part of the task, a converter from PowerDesigner files to PlantUML notation was developed. The converter is available on the web app, where the user selects the desired diagram and can save the conversion in text or image format. The converter is implemented in JavaScript and the web interface in Svelte.
