Hi everyone,

 

You can now import vsdx files into Miro, this allows you to transfer diagrams from Lucidchart, Microsoft Visio, and Draw.io/Diagramming.net into Miro, so you and your team can collaborate and diagram in one tool.

  • Diagrams are fully editable in Miro
  • Miro supports bulk import (import multiple diagrams in one go)
  • Continue diagramming in an easy, intuitive tool that your entire team can use

You can find a detailed how-to import from Lucidchart, Microsoft Visio, or Draw.io/Diagramming.net on our Help Center.

Happy diagramming!

Turner

Hi @Christophe GESCHÉ yes! If you export to .vsdx from Drawio you can import into Miro.


Hello,

Thank you for this feature, this is fantastic.

I have recently joined Miro (moving from Draw.io), we have a few complex diagrams but I am unable to import them into Miro. I receive an error “We couldn’t import your file. Please try again or select a different file.
 

 

I tried importing a simple diagram and also removing any URL links etc and I still get the same issue.

 

Draw.io Test Project 348KB


Some of our projects are quite complex & would take a considerable amount of time to rebuild in Miro, please can you advise on any potential solutions?

Thank you

I seem to be able to import if I split my project tabs into separate files in Draw.io, so far I have managed import my complex diagrams.  If anyone else has the same issue, I suggest you give it a try. Also copy & paste to blank Draw.io diagram then export, appears to work with less complex diagrams.​​​​​​

Hi @Stewart Mitchell , 

I work at Miro, and I'm responsible for this feature. Please send me a DM with more details and, if possible, an example. We will look into it.

Thanks a lot!

Hi all, there’s now an alternative way of importing your diagrams into Miro. Check out my post on the draw.io integration by Miro.

Hi ​@Pedro Rebucci - I am also getting the "We couldn't import your file" error when trying to import a Visio diagram into MIRO.  I have DM’d you. Thanks in advance!


I have the same problem when importing a Visio diagram into Miro.  I get the same error message: “We couldn’t import your file. Please try again or select a different file. “  

My visio file has multiple tabs.  Is this a problem?
