Microsoft Visio is a diagramming, process modeling & data visualization solution which enables communication of complex information through data-linked diagrams. If you're upgrading to Visio 2019 from Visio 2016, you'll still have all the features you're used to—and you'll notice a few new ones as well! Have a comment or suggestion about Microsoft Office? We need your feedback to help us deliver great products. In Visio, you can suggest new features, tell us what you like or what's not working.

Memory 2 GB RAM

Microsoft Visio advanced layout tools help you simplify complex tasks with dynamic visual elements based on data and new ways to share on the Web in real time.Whether you are creating an organization chart, a network diagram or a business process, you can create them more easily.

The Standard and Professional editions share the same interface, but the Professional edition has additional templates for more advanced diagrams and layouts, as well as capabilities intended to make it easy for users to connect their diagrams to data sources and to display their data graphically.

Some features may require additional hardware or services, for example:

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2013, Microsoft SharePoint Online, or Microsoft OneDrive for Business is required for coauthoring.

Visio Online Plan 1, which includes Visio Online and 2GB of OneDrive storage, enables users to create and share simple diagrams in their favorite browser. It’s best for basic diagramming needs.

Visio Online Plan 2 includes Visio desktop, Visio Online, and 2GB of OneDrive storage, making it our most powerful diagramming suite. It’s best for professional diagramming needs. Visio desktop comes with a robust library of built-in and third-party templates and shapes, as well as integrated collaboration tools. It also receives all latest feature releases and enables you to connect diagrams to live data. Plus, you can store and share your diagrams online, then use your favorite browser to view and edit them through Visio Online. Both Visio and Visio Online offer collaboration through in-app comments.

For more details on how to buy a Visio Online subscription, visit our plans and pricing page.

Visio Online Plan 2, available as a subscription, includes the all same capabilities as Visio Professional 2016, as well as cloud-only features like Visio Visual in Power BI, Data Visualizer through Excel, and Database Reverse Engineering (DBRE). Enhanced support for AutoCAD drawings and more templates, stencils, and shapes are also only available in Plan 2. Plus, Plan 2 allows each user to install Visio on up to five PCs running Windows 10, Windows 8, or Windows 7. It automatically installs the latest security updates and receives all feature releases for the duration of the subscription. Visio Online Plan 1 with 2GB OneDrive storage is also included.

For information on how to license Visio, please visit our licensing page.

Yes! Most Office 365 customers can view their Visio diagrams in Teams. Those with a Visio Online plan subscription can also edit diagrams directly in Teams. You can learn more about Visio in Teams here. Please note, Teams is sold separately from Visio.

Power BI users can download the Visio Visual here. All users can view a Visio Visual report in Power BI and embed file links, but only those with a Visio Online license can edit the visual. Read our Tech Community blog post to learn more about Visio Visual for Power BI.

Visio currently supports multiple data sources, including Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Excel Services, Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SQL Azure, and Microsoft SharePoint Lists and Business Connectivity Services.

Data-linking is only available through Visio, although you can view data-linked diagrams using Visio Online.

Visio shares many of the same security features as Microsoft Office apps. These include Information Rights Management (IRM) to set file access permissions and built-in data loss prevention (DLP) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to help prevent data leaks. Likewise, Visio Online inherits all enterprise-grade security, privacy, and compliance features available through the Microsoft Cloud.

Yes. Any Visio Online diagram can be accessed, created, edited, and shared using your preferred mobile browser. There is also a native Visio Viewer app for iOS devices. You can only view diagrams using the app; editing capabilities are not available.

There is no Visio client version for Mac. Instead, you can use Visio Online to diagram in your browser.

Visio Professional 2016, Visio Standard 2016, and Visio Online keep the same XML-based file format introduced in 2013. Early versions of Visio may not recognize this format. You can save files that were created in Visio 2016 or Visio Online in the Visio 2003–2010 Drawing (VSD) format, which earlier versions of Visio can open. To do this, go to the File menu and choose Save As. Once a location has been selected, change the Save as type to Visio 2003–2010 Drawing.

Some features from earlier versions of Visio have been disabled for compatibility in Visio 2016. Converting the old file to the new file format will enable all features. To convert a Visio 2003–2010 drawing, go to the Filemenu, select Info, then Convert.

To ask questions, please connect with us on the Visio Answers or the Visio MSDN forums. You can also email us at tellvisio@microsoft.com and send feedback through UserVoice.
