Import your diagrams, then keep them editable in Confluence

Bring the diagrams you already have into an editable canvas. Import Visio (.vsdx), Lucidchart, and Gliffy files, or paste Mermaid and SQL — free, in your browser, with nothing uploaded. When it belongs in your docs, install the Forge-native app and keep it editable inside Confluence.

Import what you already have

Visio (.vsdx), Lucidchart (.lucid), and Gliffy files load directly. Mermaid and SQL come in by paste. No re-drawing from a screenshot.

Edit as native shapes

Imports become real diagram.now shapes and connectors — reposition, restyle, relabel, and re-lay-out them, then export to PNG, SVG, or PDF.

Keep it in Confluence

Install the Forge-native app to create and keep editable diagrams inside Confluence pages, next to the runbook, spec, or ADR they explain.

A genuine capture of the shipping free editor: import → edit → export, then install for Confluence. Cycles automatically.

What you can import

Visio (.vsdx)

Choose File → Import Gliffy / Lucid / VSDX… and open a .vsdx file. Pages, shapes, and connectors are read from the Visio archive so you can keep editing them.

Lucidchart & Gliffy

The same importer opens .lucid and .gliffy exports, mapping shapes, text, and links into editable diagram.now objects.

Mermaid

Use File → Import Mermaid… and paste flowchart / graph syntax, including |label| edge labels, to turn text into shapes.

SQL

Use File → Import SQL… and paste CREATE TABLE DDL. Primary and foreign keys become an editable entity-relationship diagram.

Everything is parsed in your browser — the .vsdx and .lucid archives are unzipped and read client-side, so nothing is uploaded just to import it.

Import → edit → Confluence, in three steps

Import in the free editor

Open the free editor, then File → Import. Load a Visio, Lucidchart, or Gliffy file, or paste Mermaid or SQL. No account required.

Edit and export

Clean up the imported shapes, relabel, restyle, and re-route connectors. Export to PNG, SVG, or PDF, or copy a share link.

Use it in Confluence

Install diagram.now from the Atlassian Marketplace. As a Forge-native app, your diagrams are created and stay editable directly inside Confluence pages.

Bring an existing diagram into Confluence

Start free in the browser — import a Visio, Lucidchart, Mermaid, or SQL diagram and confirm it comes in editable. When it becomes team documentation, install diagram.now and keep it editable inside Confluence.

FAQ

Which formats can I import?

Visio (.vsdx), Lucidchart (.lucid), and Gliffy files, plus Mermaid flowchart/graph syntax and SQL CREATE TABLE DDL, all from the File → Import menu in the free editor.

Does the imported diagram stay editable?

Yes. Imports become native diagram.now shapes and connectors, so you can move, restyle, relabel, and re-lay-out them like anything you draw from scratch.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Files are parsed in your browser. The .vsdx and .lucid archives are unzipped and read client-side; nothing is uploaded to import them.

Which Mermaid diagrams are supported?

Mermaid import currently converts flowchart and graph syntax (including |label| edge labels) into editable shapes. SQL import turns CREATE TABLE DDL, including primary and foreign keys, into an editable ERD.

How do I get the diagram into Confluence?

Install diagram.now from the Atlassian Marketplace. It is a Forge-native app, so imported and new diagrams live and stay editable directly inside Confluence pages.
