Visio integration

It would be great to have this integration if for no other reason that Visio is still one of the most popular industry standards for diagramming software. I’m having a very hard time convincing my company to make the switch to Miro because they are too entrenched in Visio and with no way of importing/exporting between the two, it is unlikely that they will make the jump.

Echo this - at the very least, a one-way import facility to bring the Visio diagrams in as editable objects.  Loss of features such as layers would be understandable.

We are also unlikely to drop Visio without the ability to bring in the existing catalogue of diagrams.

There is a Miro format with a file extension of .rtb that you can export to and import from in the Miro application.  If you open it up it contains all the images and a set of JSON documents that represent the canvas.  I have been looking for a tool that can do a conversion between that and Visio but haven’t found one yet.  That could be an option if found (or someone wanted to start an open-source project)

Agree - we need Viso import AND export

Echo all of the above - especially being able to copy objects from Miro into Visio.

In order for Visio diagrams to be be imported into Miro, there must be a mapping of icons and shapes.

For example, is there an equivalent icon in Miro that could represent of the Document shape in Visio on the Web’s flow diagram tool? 

So, if Miro is tied to allowing importing and exporting of Visio files, it must somehow mirror all of Visio’s diagram features. If Miro is mirroring Visio’s features, then it is less free to ‘think differently’. So, import and export of Visio files would be handy, but if it hampers the progress of Miro, I’d be happy to drop integration with Visio in favour of freeing Miro to solve problems the best way it can.

agree with the above, we use LucidCharts which can import/export Visio, would be great to be able to move all this to Miro...

Also agree with the comments here - first question about using Miro instead of Visio is can I export from Visio to Miro? We need an import and export from Visio. No one wants to recreate long workflows in multiple tools so decisions have to be made and when it comes to workflows, it’s going to go to Visio if there’s no way to integrate.  

As far as I can tell Miro does not support any file type that LucidChart or Visio can export.  Folks at Miro, do you have Visio import on your roadmap? Date for release?

Have y’all seen Jon White’s Cross Functional Flowchart in the MiroVerse?  https://miro.com/miroverse/cross-functional-flowchart/  In case you haven’t.  

Alternatively, I’d take SVG import…

yes, we need it to create concept for product.

Upvoting - at least as an import it’s a massive feature to make Miro compatible with legacy systems.

Upvoting - we really need this to import charts from other solution

This is apparently a feature now.

1. Click More Tools (the » icon)
2. Select Diagramming
3. Click the Down-arrow next to the word Diagramming on the top left
4. Drag/choose your .vsdx file

Hope this helps some folks.

It would help to get an update from Miro on whether this is available or in development and if so what it is designed to do (import, export, both?). Matthew Bright’s reply above makes me hopeful, but I can’t replicate it with my current free account or find any documentation. I don’t think I’m adding anything new, but this would make a big difference for people who would prefer to use Miro but work in organizations with a bunch of legacy content from other platforms, mostly Visio.

Thanks Matthew!

I was able to import a Visio file successfully, if we could export to that format as well it would open up a lot possibilities, hopefully it’s in the works. 

@Frank Bejerano ; which license tier do you have where you’re able to access this feature?  Free and Consultant do not seem to have it. 

@Eric Banks  we do have the enterprise license tier. I did not see any entries in Miro’s pricing about this functionality.

This is an experimental feature at the moment and is only appearing on some random Enterprise Plans. You will not see any mention of in Miro’s pricing/features documentation.

Thanks for pointing this out.

I am bummed this feature is so hidden, AND that it forcibly creates a new board instead of allowing me to choose if I want a new board or just to add the import to my existing board.

But hey, it mostly works. Looks like some text overlap issues that weren’t in the original file.

this is preventing me from using Miro more, or to more team mates. Once created in Miro, you can never get away without recreating all over again. It is a shame that miro is so nervous that if you can export they may lose you as a customer. Just make a good product, they won’t leave. 

I’m sad that this was suggested 2 years ago and there is not functionality to export from Miro to Visio.  Please can we have this as a capability?

It does.  Now I can sketch in Diagrams.Net (was Draw.io) and import into Miro with full editability

This. Multi-national organisation, with multiple solutions in place in different countries. 

We use LucidChart, another region uses Miro. There is no way for us to operate effectively due to this limitation from Miro. Lock-in is not a feature.
