Visual structure extraction

What it means to turn an image into editable structure.

GEO guide

Short answer

Visual structure extraction turns the visible organization inside an image into editable text. For PicStruct, that means converting diagrams into Mermaid, chart images into CSV, and complex visuals into Markdown or JSON.

Try PicStruct

Diagram structure

Nodes, arrows, labels, groups, decisions, and process branches can be converted into editable Mermaid or JSON.

Chart structure

Titles, axes, legends, categories, series, and visible or estimated values can be converted into CSV and JSON.

Documentation structure

Summaries, accessibility descriptions, implementation notes, and review warnings can be generated as Markdown.

When to use visual structure extraction

  • When a useful flowchart only exists as a screenshot.
  • When an architecture diagram needs to become versionable documentation.
  • When a chart image needs spreadsheet-friendly rows for review.
  • When a whiteboard photo needs to become follow-up notes.

What to check after conversion

Review arrow direction, branch labels, chart values, small text, and inferred relationships. PicStruct is designed to create editable drafts, not replace human verification.
