How do I convert a Lucidchart diagram to BPMN 2.0 with Crismo?
Export from Lucidchart
In Lucidchart, go to File → Download → Visio (.vsdx). This exports your diagram in a format our converter can parse.
Upload the .vsdx file
Drag and drop the exported file into the converter above. The conversion runs entirely in your browser - no data leaves your machine.
Download the .bpmn file
Review the converted diagram, adjust layout if needed, and download standards-compliant BPMN 2.0 XML.

Why move your Lucidchart diagrams to Crismo?
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.
- Requires exporting from Lucidchart as .vsdx first (File → Download → Visio).
- Single-page diagrams only. Multi-page exports will only convert the first page.
- Lucidchart-specific features (comments, revision history) are not preserved - only the diagram structure.
- Edge routing is approximate - use the built-in editor to adjust connections after converting.
