VSDX Studio
VSDX Studio is a native app for Mac and iPad that opens, edits, converts and creates
Visio drawings (.vsdx, .vsdm, .vsd, .vdx,
stencils and templates) and exports them to PDF, PNG, JPEG, SVG and draw.io. It is published on
the App Store by Metin Karaduman, the author of ediviewer.
Your drawings never leave your device. VSDX Studio has no server, no account, no analytics and no advertising. Opening, editing and exporting happen entirely on your Mac or iPad.
Support
Questions, bug reports and feature requests are welcome by email: [email protected]. I usually reply within a few days.
- A file does not open or looks wrong. Tell me which Visio version saved it and what differs. Please do not send confidential drawings; a few shapes that reproduce the problem in a new file are enough.
- VSDX Studio Pro. Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks editing, export and printing. It is a universal purchase: buy it once and use it on both Mac and iPad with the same Apple ID. Use Restore Purchases in the app after reinstalling or on a new device.
- Refunds are handled by Apple through reportaproblem.apple.com.
Privacy policy
1. Your files
Files you open are read and written only on your device. The app does not upload them, does not keep copies outside the location you choose, and nobody but you can see their contents. Quick Look previews and Finder thumbnails are generated locally as well.
2. Data the app collects
None. VSDX Studio collects no personal data, no usage data and no diagnostics, and it contains no third-party analytics or advertising components. Settings such as the window layout or the last used export format stay on your device.
3. Purchases
VSDX Studio Pro is sold through Apple's in-app purchase system (StoreKit). The app only learns whether the purchase is active; payment details stay with Apple and are covered by Apple's privacy policy.
4. The optional "New from Description" feature
The Mac app can create a diagram from a text description. This is the only feature that uses the network, and it works only if you enter your own Anthropic API key and click Generate. In that case the text you typed is sent to Anthropic's API with your key; your key is kept in the macOS Keychain on your device. No drawing you have opened is ever sent. The processing of that request is governed by Anthropic's privacy policy. If you never use this feature, the app makes no network requests at all apart from StoreKit.
5. Your rights
Because the app collects nothing, there is no data about you for me to access, correct or delete. If you have a privacy question, write to [email protected].
6. Changes
Changes to this policy are published on this page, and the date above is updated.
