This work introduces a general theory of universal pseudomorphisms and develops their connection to diagrammatic coherence. The main results give hypotheses under which pseudomorphism coherence is equivalent to the coherence theory of strict algebras. Applications include diagrammatic coherence for plain, symmetric, and braided monoidal functors. The final sections include a variety of examples.
