Visio → BPMN 2.0
FreeConvert .vsdx diagrams into standards-compliant BPMN 2.0 XML. No signup, no upload. Runs entirely in your browser.
Click to upload or drag and drop
.vsdx files (Visio 2013+) — multi-tab files supported
100% client-side. Your file never leaves your browser.
How do I convert a .vsdx file to BPMN 2.0 with Crismo?
Upload your .vsdx file
Drag and drop a .vsdx file into the converter above. The file is parsed entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded to a server.
Review the converted diagram
The converter maps BPMN stencil shapes to their BPMN 2.0 equivalents. An interactive editor lets you drag elements and fix layout.
Download the .bpmn file
Download standards-compliant BPMN 2.0 XML that imports directly into Camunda Modeler, Flowable, Signavio, or any BPMN tool.
What BPMN elements are supported?
Crismo's free converter handles all common BPMN 2.0 elements. The converted diagram can be imported directly into Crismo for AI-powered analysis, collaboration, and process improvement.

Why convert to BPMN 2.0?
Converting to BPMN 2.0 unlocks capabilities that visual-only tools can't offer. Crismo is built on BPMN as a format - every feature leverages the structure of your process model.
BPMN Validation
Crismo validates your diagram against the BPMN 2.0 standard in real-time. Missing start events, disconnected flows, invalid gateway configurations - caught instantly, not after deployment.
Process Diffing
See exactly what changed between versions. Crismo diffs BPMN models structurally - added tasks, removed gateways, modified flows - not just pixel differences in a drawing.
AI Process Extraction
Record a meeting, upload the transcript, and Crismo's AI extracts a structured BPMN process. Combine imported diagrams with freshly discovered processes in one workspace.
Standards-Based Export
Export to Camunda, Flowable, Signavio, or any BPMN 2.0 engine. Because Crismo stores real BPMN - not proprietary shapes - your models work everywhere.
Which tools can I convert to BPMN with Crismo?
Crismo offers free, browser-based converters for the most popular diagramming tools. Convert once, then continue in Crismo with AI-powered process discovery, real-time collaboration, and version history.
| Tool | Format | Status | How |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Visio | .vsdx | Available | Direct upload |
| Lucidchart | .vsdx (export) | Available | Export as Visio, then upload |
| draw.io / diagrams.net | .drawio / .xml | Available | Direct upload |
| Miro | Screenshot | Coming soon | Use AI vision import (coming soon) |
| PowerPoint | Screenshot | Coming soon | Use AI vision import (coming soon) |
What are the limitations?
We believe in transparency. Here's what the converter doesn't handle yet.
- Only .vsdx files (2013+). Older .vsd files need to be re-saved as .vsdx first.
- Single-page diagrams only. Multi-page files will only convert the first page.
- Data objects and data stores are detected but not yet included in the BPMN output.
- Expanded subprocesses with inner flow elements are converted as call activities.
- Edge routing is approximate - use the built-in editor to adjust connections after converting.
