Microsoft Visio: Diagrams That Look Like Someone Meant Them
Every office has flowcharts drawn in PowerPoint with boxes that do not quite line up. Visio exists so that stops happening. It is Microsoft's dedicated diagramming application: process maps, network topologies, org charts, floor plans, electrical schematics, UML and database diagrams, wireframes, all built from thousands of ready-made stencils with smart connectors that stay attached when you move things. It integrates with Excel for data-driven diagrams and with the rest of Office for embedding. A Microsoft Visio license from us installs the full desktop application on one PC for a single payment.
Like Project, Visio has never been included in an Office suite. Visio 2024 and Visio 2021, in Standard and Professional editions, are the current perpetual releases, and this category is where you buy them outright instead of paying for Visio Plan 2 every month.

If you draw flowcharts and org charts, Visio Standard is all you need and it costs less. Engineers, network administrators, architects and business analysts working with BPMN or data-linked diagrams should buy Visio Professional; the extra templates and data features are the whole point.
Visio 2024 vs Visio 2021
Visio 2024 has the refreshed interface, performance work on large drawings, and Microsoft support until October 2029. Visio 2021 is cheaper and supported to October 2026, after which it keeps working and activating as normal. Both use the .vsdx format and open each other's files. Match the generation to the Office on the PC (Visio 2021 with Office 2021, Visio 2024 with Office 2024) for a clean install.

Buyer questions
Standard or Professional?
Standard has the essential flowchart, org chart and network templates. Professional adds engineering, floor-plan, BPMN and UML templates, data linking, and AutoCAD import.

No. Visio is always licensed separately.
Can Visio open files from other tools?
Visio Professional imports AutoCAD DWG and DXF. Both editions export to PDF, SVG, PNG and other image formats.
Is this a subscription like Visio Plan 2?
No. This is the perpetual desktop license: one payment, own it. Plan 1 and Plan 2 are separate subscription products.

Yes, install the same generation as your Office suite.
