A Visio alternative that opens your .vsdx files

Teams that inherited a folder of Visio drawings usually want two things: to open them without a Microsoft licence on every desk, and to keep working in a familiar layout. EdrawMax imports .vsdx and .vsd files and presents them in an interface that resembles Microsoft Office.

The import covers more than Visio. SVG graphics and CAD files can be brought in too, and batch conversion handles a whole folder at once. The free trial allows 5 Visio imports, which is enough to check how your own drawings translate before paying.

Going the other way works as well. A finished diagram can be saved as a Visio file for a colleague who still uses the original tool, or as PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, SVG or PostScript for everyone else.

Visio users also get platform freedom: the app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and the same diagram opens on iOS, Android and the browser. For a mixed-hardware office that alone settles a lot of arguments.

On price, a plan covers 3 PCs and 3 mobile devices, and the current bundle shelf takes up to 50% off when you add EdrawMind or EdrawProj. A 30-day money-back guarantee leaves room to test your real files first.
