One of the coolest things about plantuml is the generated PNG actually contains the source code for the image as metadata. If someone gives you an image, they don't also need to send you the source because you can extract it using the plantuml CLI.

draw.io also supports this for .png and .html, so you can just import and continue editing it

Coworkers always accuse me of tomfoolery when I tell them it's already in there

That is so cool. Did not know this. Thank you!
Didn't knew that! Thanks
I wonder if the Copy As Image also does this. I will check.
This is indeed awesome! Thanks for letting us know.
