Migrate from Structurizr to Archyl | Step-by-Step Guide
Import your Structurizr workspace into Archyl in minutes. Keep your C4 model, add AI discovery, drift detection, and MCP server integration.
Importers for the formats teams actually hold, each one reporting what it could not convert.

Import your Structurizr DSL workspaces into Archyl. Systems, containers, components, relationships, technologies and tags come across; views, styles, layout, deployment nodes and !docs/!adrs do not, and the importer names each one it skipped -- and unlock drift detection, conformance, DORA metrics, and AI-powered tools.
Archyl is the first tool to support LikeC4 imports. Bring your custom element kinds, nested hierarchies, properties, hashtag tags, and relationships into a platform with drift detection, conformance, and AI-powered tools.
Export your IcePanel architecture as JSON and import it into Archyl. Keep your systems, actors, apps, stores, components, connections, and tags -- then unlock drift detection, conformance, and AI-powered architecture tools.
Backstage lists what you run. Archyl turns the same catalog into a navigable C4 model: Systems become systems, Components and Resources become containers, and every API entity becomes a contract with its spec preserved inline and linked to the services that provide and consume it. You keep Backstage. Ownership does not come across, and you get two C4 levels to build on.
Move from static Draw.io architecture diagrams to living C4 documentation. Archyl gives your diagrams structure, drift detection, AI discovery, and the ability to stay in sync with your actual codebase.
Move from Mermaid text-based diagrams to a full C4 architecture platform. Keep the code-first approach you love with Architecture as Code, plus gain AI discovery, drift detection, visual editing, and architecture governance.
Move from PlantUML text-based diagrams to a modern C4 architecture platform. Archyl combines the code-first approach of PlantUML with AI discovery, drift detection, visual editing, and enterprise architecture governance.
Start free with your first repository. Bring your team when you are ready.
Import from Structurizr DSL, LikeC4, IcePanel, Backstage, Draw.io and PlantUML. Each importer reports what it could not convert.
Import your Structurizr workspace into Archyl in minutes. Keep your C4 model, add AI discovery, drift detection, and MCP server integration.
Import your LikeC4 architecture into Archyl. Upgrade from static diagrams to AI-powered discovery, drift detection, and team collaboration.
Import your IcePanel architecture into Archyl. Add AI discovery, drift detection, DORA metrics, and MCP server integration to your C4 model.
Turn your Backstage Software Catalog into a navigable C4 model. Systems, Components, Resources, and inline API specs import from entities.json. Backstage keeps running.
Move from general-purpose diagramming to purpose-built C4 architecture documentation with AI discovery, drift detection, and living docs.
Upgrade from text-based Mermaid diagrams to interactive C4 architecture documentation with AI discovery, drift detection, and team collaboration.
Move from PlantUML to interactive C4 architecture documentation with AI discovery, visual editor, drift detection, and living documentation.
