Import Visio diagrams to Miro

People: All users with eligible plans
Plans: Business, Enterprise
Platforms: Browser, Desktop, Mobile

Easily transfer your diagrams from MS Visio into Miro and start collaborating in one unified tool.

Imported diagrams are fully functional so you can edit, color, move and redesign as you need.

⚠️ Editing of imported diagrams is one-way only. Changes made in Miro will not be reflected in Visio.

Import a single Visio diagram to a new Miro board

Follow these steps to import an individual Visio diagram. The imported diagram will create a new Miro board:

1. In Visio, open the diagram you wish to export.
2. Select the File menu, and choose Save As. Select a location and save your file in .vsdx format.
3. Navigate to the Miro board from which you want to initiate the import. This can be any board, as the import will create a new one.
4. On the Creation toolbar at left, select Shapes > More shapes, and then select the Import diagram icon located at the top right of the diagramming shape library panel.
5. In the dialog box that appears, either drag and drop the .vsdx Visio file, or click the Choose file button and navigate to select the file from your system.
6. Select Import.
   When the import process finishes, you'll see a File imported dialog.
7. Click Go to board to open the new Miro board containing your imported diagram.

Bulk import multiple Visio diagrams

You can also import multiple Visio diagrams into Miro simultaneously from your dashboard. Each diagram will be imported into its own new Miro board, named after the original filename:

1. Go to your Miro dashboard.
2. Select + Create new > Import > Import diagram.
3. Drag your .vsdx files into the designated area, or use the choose files link to select multiple Visio diagrams. Note that you can still remove files before importing.
4. Select Import files.
   When the import process finishes, you'll see a Files imported dialog.
5. Select Done.

This creates a new board for each diagram, named after the original filename.

Understand Visio object mapping in Miro

The following table compares how objects and shapes from Visio are typically represented once imported into Miro. Note that while Miro strives for high fidelity, some manual adjustments or recreations might be necessary for complex elements.
