Lucidchart

Pages for Lucidchart customers moving diagrams to self-hosted draw.io.

Lucidchart vs draw.io

Lucidchart's diagramming, data linking and Enterprise admin features compared with Apache-licensed draw.io, which keeps diagrams on the user's device or chosen storage and integrates with Confluence, Nextcloud and wikis.

Migrate from Lucidchart to draw.io

The two documented routes from Lucidchart to draw.io, copy and paste into the online editor or Lucidchart's VSDX export into draw.io's Visio import, what changes in rendering, and why Lucid's .LAF bulk backup cannot be used.

Lucidchart cost vs self-hosted draw.io

Lucidchart's per-user plans, with SSO, SCIM and data residency held for Enterprise, compared with running draw.io's Docker image or desktop app at no license cost: hosting, storage integration, conversion effort and support.

How to export your data from Lucidchart

Lucidchart's per-document exports to images, Visio, JSON and shape-data CSV on every plan, what exports leave out such as comments and notes, and why the bulk .LAF backup only restores into Lucid.

Open-source alternative to Lucidspark

Lucidspark comes with Lucidchart in Lucid's Enterprise suite. This page covers replacing its whiteboards with Excalidraw or Nextcloud Whiteboard while diagrams move to draw.io, and what changes for workshops and brainstorming.

Open-source alternative to Lucidchart for Confluence

For teams using Lucidchart inside Confluence: draw.io's conversion of Lucidchart diagrams in Confluence, and draw.io integrations with self-hosted wikis such as XWiki, BookStack and Wiki.js if Confluence is also being replaced.
