Converting your Gliffy diagrams to Visio format primarily involves using a versatile online diagramming tool as an intermediary. This process allows you to transfer your Gliffy files, often saved from platforms like Confluence, into a format compatible with Microsoft Visio.
Step-by-Step Gliffy to Visio Conversion
To convert your Gliffy diagram into a Visio-compatible format (.vsdx), follow these straightforward steps:
- Download Your Gliffy File: First, ensure you have the Gliffy diagram file downloaded to your local computer. If your Gliffy diagram is embedded in a platform like Confluence, you will need to export or download it first.
- Access diagrams.net: Open your web browser and navigate to the diagrams.net online editor. You can access it directly at https://app.diagrams.net/.
- Import Your Gliffy File: Once on the diagrams.net editor page, simply drag and drop your downloaded Gliffy file directly onto the blank drawing canvas. The tool will automatically import and render your Gliffy diagram.
- Export as Visio (.vsdx): After your Gliffy diagram has been successfully imported and displayed in diagrams.net, navigate to the menu bar:
- Click on File.
- Hover over Export As.
- Select .vsdx (MS Visio) from the options.
- Save the newly exported
.vsdxfile to your computer.
- Open in Visio: Now, you can open the generated
.vsdxfile directly in Microsoft Visio. Your Gliffy diagram content will be available for editing and further work within Visio.
This method leverages diagrams.net's robust import and export capabilities to bridge the compatibility gap between Gliffy and Visio, allowing for seamless transition of your diagramming assets.
