No .vsd file import in the Desktop app
The desktop version of draw.io is a standalone application which does not send any data outside of your device.
While .vsd
, .vdx
and .vss
import is not supported in draw.io, you can convert to modern .vsdx
formats first, and then to draw.io via our free web application at app.diagrams.net
Convert to a .vsdx
diagram: Open the diagram file in your normal Microsoft editor, version 2013 or later, and save it as a .vsdx
file. Create a new draw.io diagram, then drag and drop the .vsdx
file into the diagram editor.
Convert a .vsdx diagram file to .drawio
- Go to our online editor
- Drag and drop the
.vsdx
file onto the drawing canvas, and draw.io will automatically import it. - Select File > Save from the menu, change the filename if necessary, then select Device as the target.
- Open the
.drawio
diagram file as normal in your draw.io Desktop app.
