Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about converting between .drawio and .vsdx formats

← Back to converter

How do I convert a .drawio file to Visio (.vsdx)?

Upload your .drawio file on the homepage, and the tool automatically converts it to .vsdx format entirely in your browser. Click "Download .vsdx" to save the result. No account, registration, or server upload is needed.

How do I convert a Visio .vsdx file to draw.io format?

Upload your .vsdx file on the homepage — the converter auto-detects the direction from the file extension and produces a .drawio file ready to open in draw.io or diagrams.net.

Is the conversion private? Are my files uploaded to a server?

Yes, completely private. The entire conversion runs inside your browser using JavaScript. No file data ever leaves your device — there is no server-side processing whatsoever.

Does the converter preserve shapes, connectors, and layout?

Yes. The converter preserves positions, sizes, labels, connectors, and basic styles. Complex Visio-specific shapes (custom stencils, ActiveX controls) may render as generic shapes in draw.io, as those proprietary formats have no draw.io equivalent.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes — drag and drop multiple files or use the file picker to select several at once. Each file is converted independently and listed with its own download button and conversion status.

What version of Visio format does the output use?

The output uses the modern .vsdx format (Open Packaging Convention, XML-based), supported by Visio 2013 and later, including Visio for Microsoft 365 and Visio Online.

Will the converted file open in Microsoft Visio?

Yes. The .vsdx output is compatible with Microsoft Visio 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, and Visio for Microsoft 365. Open it directly from File → Open in any of these versions.

Can I open the converted .drawio file in diagrams.net?

Yes. The .drawio output is fully compatible with draw.io / diagrams.net. Open it at app.diagrams.net, in the VS Code draw.io extension, or in the desktop app.

Is there a file size limit?

No hard limit is imposed by the tool — your browser's available memory is the only constraint. Very large diagrams with hundreds of shapes or embedded images may be slow to process on lower-end devices.

Is drawio2visio.com free to use?

Yes, completely free with no accounts, subscriptions, or usage limits. If it saves you time, a small coffee donation is appreciated but never required.
