draw.io als Linux-Alternative zu Microsoft Visio Viewer
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
draw.io is a solid replacement for Microsoft Visio Viewer if you need to view and share Visio files on Linux. It opens .vsdx files directly and renders them clearly, with reliable zoom and navigation for large diagrams. While it’s primarily a creation tool, its viewing capabilities are strong, and it supports printing. Since it’s free, open-source, and cross-platform, it’s especially good for users who want privacy and don’t need editing. However, those who only view files may find its interface more complex than a minimal viewer.

- Larger application footprint than a minimal viewer
- No support for older .vdx or .vss formats, only .vsdx
Ihre Microsoft Visio Viewer-Dateien öffnen
draw.io can import and display .vsdx files created by Microsoft Visio, preserving most shapes, layout, and connections. It does not support older binary formats like .vdx or .vss. While imported diagrams are viewable and navigable, complex formatting or custom fonts may not render exactly. Exporting back to .vsdx is not supported—draw.io works with its own format, though you can save as PDF, PNG, or SVG for sharing. For pure viewing, the import step adds minor overhead but doesn’t block access.
