I have an old diagram in the drawio format, I want to import into miro. I’m not able to export from diagrams.net into the vsdx format as described here: https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/11842913643538-Import-Draw-io-diagrams-to-Miro. Looks like that feature was removed in March of 2025: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/blob/7114e2037b400fabce0824bfc8f20703eeda5fd4/ChangeLog#L208

Hi ​@BenWJohnson — great question, and thanks for sharing that changelog reference. That definitely complicates things, but here are a few workarounds you can try:

Export as SVG or PNG, then import to Miro

  • In draw.io, export your diagram as an SVG or PNG file

  • In Miro, drag and drop the file onto the board
    → This keeps the layout but not editable shapes

 

Copy-paste elements manually

  • Open both draw.io and Miro in split screen

  • Manually copy-paste or recreate key elements using Miro’s built-in shapes and connectors
    → Slower, but gives you full editability in Miro

 

Convert draw.io to VSDX using a third-party tool

  • Some third-party tools may allow you to convert .drawio or .xml files to .vsdx

  • Use with caution — and test with a small file first

  • Once in .vsdx, follow Miro’s import steps here

Hope this helps!
