Draw sequence diagrams in seconds using this free online tool. Creating UML sequence diagrams in draw.io As usual, make sure you've enabled the UML shape library. If you don't see it, at the bottom of the sidebar, click on More shapes, select UML from the list on the left, and click Apply. There's quite some special notation used in sequence diagrams.

Draw UML Sequence Diagrams OnlineEasy and fast GenMyModel is an UML editor with powerful features for creating UML sequence diagrams, in the web browser. GenMyModel helps you create sequence diagrams with amazing ease, there's no install, no setup and no learning curve to get started.It's just a matter of drag, drop and connect. 
UML compliant

Sequence Diagram Tool At anytime, GenMyModel assists you draw a valid UML sequence diagram by highlighting the UML elements that match an UML-compliant architecture. It saves time when creating UML elements such as lifelines, behaviors, calls, replies, etc.

UML Sequence DiagramOnlineWithin GenMyModel, you can create your sequence diagram online, share and export images. Everything is handled in your web-browser with an intuitive user interface. The sequence diagrams conform the UML2 standard. You get both a visual representation, called the diagram, and the internal structure of your model in a tree-based representation. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux and the supported browsers are IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera. 
Unified Modeling LanguageDraw Sequence Diagram OnlineA sequence diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is an interaction diagram that shows how processes operate with one another and in what order. UML sequence diagrams model the flow of logic within your system in a visual manner, enabling you both to document and validate your logic, and are commonly used for both analysis and design purposes. Sequence diagrams are the most popular UML artifact for dynamic modeling, which focuses on identifying the behavior within your system. 
The sequence diagram is a construct of a message sequence chart. A sequence diagram shows object interactions arranged in time sequence. It depicts the objects and classes involved in the scenario and the sequence of messages exchanged between the objects needed to carry out the functionality of the scenario. Sequence diagrams are typically associated with use case realizations. 
A sequence diagram shows, as parallel vertical lines (lifelines), different processes or objects that live simultaneously, and, as horizontal arrows, the messages exchanged between them, in the order in which they occur. This allows the specification of simple runtime scenarios in a graphical manner. 
Sequence diagrams are typically used to model usage scenarios, the logic of methods and the logic of services.

Notation DescriptionVisual Representation
Actor
a type of role played by an entity that interacts with the subject (e.g., by exchanging signals and data)
external to the subject (i.e., in the sense that an instance of an actor is not a part of the instance of its corresponding subject).
represent roles played by human users, external hardware, or other subjects.
Note that:
An actor does not necessarily represent a specific physical entity but merely a particular role of some entity
A person may play the role of several different actors and, conversely, a given actor may be played by multiple different person.
Lifeline
A lifeline represents an individual participant in the Interaction.
Activations
A thin rectangle on a lifeline) represents the period during which an element is performing an operation.
The top and the bottom of the of the rectangle are aligned with the initiation and the completion time respectively
Call Message
A message defines a particular communication between Lifelines of an Interaction.
Call message is a kind of message that represents an invocation of operation of target lifeline.
Return Message
A message defines a particular communication between Lifelines of an Interaction.
Return message is a kind of message that represents the pass of information back to the caller of a corresponded former message.
Self Message
A message defines a particular communication between Lifelines of an Interaction.
Self message is a kind of message that represents the invocation of message of the same lifeline.
Recursive Message
A message defines a particular communication between Lifelines of an Interaction.
Recursive message is a kind of message that represents the invocation of message of the same lifeline. It's target points to an activation on top of the activation where the message was invoked from.
Create Message
A message defines a particular communication between Lifelines of an Interaction.
Create message is a kind of message that represents the instantiation of (target) lifeline.
Destroy Message
A message defines a particular communication between Lifelines of an Interaction.
Destroy message is a kind of message that represents the request of destroying the lifecycle of target lifeline.
Duration Message
A message defines a particular communication between Lifelines of an Interaction.
Duration message shows the distance between two time instants for a message invocation.
Note
A note (comment) gives the ability to attach various remarks to elements. A comment carries no semantic force, but may contain information that is useful to a modeler.
