What is a Venn diagram?
A Venn diagram shows what groups have in common and where they differ. This three-circle version uses the classic side-project question — what you enjoy, what you are good at and what people will pay for — with the sweet spot in the middle. The circles are outlines only, so every overlap stays readable when you add your own items.
When to use it
- Comparing products, options or candidates on shared and unique traits.
- Teaching sets, categories or compare-and-contrast in class.
- Finding the overlap between goals, like skills, interests and market demand.
How to make a Venn diagram in SketchFlow
- Step 1: Open the Venn diagram template in SketchFlow.
- Step 2: Double-click each circle's heading to rename the three groups.
- Step 3: Press T and click inside a region to add items that belong there.
- Step 4: Need two circles? Select one and press Delete; resize the others by dragging their handles.
- Step 5: Export as PNG or SVG — switch the background off for a transparent image.
Tips for a better result
- Keep circle headings outside the overlaps so they never collide with items.
- Put only the truly shared items in the centre — it should be the smallest list.
- Use the same circle size for each group so no set looks more important.
Questions about this template
How do I make a Venn diagram online?
Open this template in SketchFlow, rename the circles and type items into each region. You can also draw circles yourself with E (ellipse) and overlap them.
Can I change it to a two-circle Venn diagram?
Yes. Delete one circle and its heading, then move the remaining two so they overlap by about a third.
Why are the circles not filled?
Solid fills would hide the overlaps. Outline circles keep every region visible; you can still add a fill from the properties panel if you prefer.
