Convert VDX to SVG

Understanding VDX and SVG file formats

VDX is a file format used by Microsoft Visio, a popular diagramming application. VDX files are XML-based and store vector graphics, diagrams, and flowcharts. They are often used for creating complex diagrams that require precise scaling and detail.

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. It is a widely-used format for vector images, which are composed of paths rather than pixels. SVG files are XML-based and can be scaled to any size without losing quality, making them ideal for web graphics and illustrations.

How to convert VDX to SVG

Converting a VDX file to an SVG file allows you to use your diagrams in web applications or other software that supports SVG. The conversion process involves transforming the vector data from the VDX format into the SVG format.
