Food Web Network Diagrams: Examples & Maker

Food web diagrams map the feeding relationships within an ecosystem, showing how energy flows from producers to consumers. Whether you’re a biology student, an ecologist, or a teacher, our collection of food web examples helps you visualize complex trophic interactions. From the Arctic tundra to coral reefs, each example demonstrates a real food web structure you can edit or use as inspiration. Then, create your own food web diagram with our intuitive network diagram maker — no drawing skills required.

How to use a network diagram template.

  1. 01Choose a template or start blank

    Pick a pre-built food web example to edit, or begin with an empty canvas to build from scratch.

  2. 02Add species and feeding links

    Add nodes for each species and draw directed arrows from prey to predators to represent energy flow.

  3. 03Label trophic levels

    Assign each node to a trophic level (producer, primary consumer, etc.) and add text labels for clarity.

  4. 04Customize appearance

    Use colors, sizes, and automatic layout to highlight energy pathways and make the diagram easy to read.

  5. 05Export or share

    Download as an image or share a live link to collaborate with classmates or colleagues.

FAQ

Questions about network diagram templates

What is a food web diagram?

A food web diagram is a network map of who eats whom in an ecosystem. It shows multiple interconnected food chains, with arrows pointing from prey to predator to indicate energy flow.

How do I make a food web diagram?

Use our network diagram tool to add species nodes, then connect them with arrows. You can arrange the layout, color code trophic levels, and add labels.

What are the trophic levels in a food web?

Typical trophic levels include producers (plants), primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores or omnivores), and sometimes tertiary consumers. Decomposers are often included as well.

Can I share my food web diagram?

Yes, you can export your diagram as a PNG or SVG image, or share a live link for real-time collaboration and feedback.

Is the food web diagram maker free?

Yes, it is free with a free account. No credit card is needed. You can create food web diagrams online.
