Download Lite (Free, 20 steps)
Lite is the fastest way to test this on a real Visio diagram. It exports the first 20 process steps into a Data Visualizer-ready dataset, so the workflow can be validated before upgrading.
Lite is a Windows desktop executable. It runs locally. The file stays on your machine unless you choose to share it.

How to run Lite on a real diagram
- Download the Lite ZIP using the form above.
- Unzip the file and run the Windows executable.
- Select your Visio diagram (.vsdx). Best fit: cross-functional flowcharts (swimlanes + phases).
- Export the dataset (Lite exports the first 20 steps).
- Import into Cross-Functional Flowchart (Data Visualizer) in Visio to regenerate a linked diagram.
If Visio rejects the import, jump straight to: Data Visualizer import troubleshooting.
What to do after you export the dataset
The real payoff is the round-trip: export the dataset once, then maintain the process as data and refresh the diagram when the process changes.
- Edit the dataset in Excel (IDs, wording, lanes, phases, connections).
- Re-import the dataset into Visio Data Visualizer.
- Refresh the diagram instead of manually moving shapes.
What Lite includes
- Free export of the first 20 process steps from a real diagram
- Clean dataset output for validation and import testing
- A fast go/no-go decision before spending money
Lite limitations
- Limited to the first 20 process steps
- Designed for evaluation, not full-size process libraries
Upgrade path to Standard (Unlimited)
If Lite confirms fit, Standard removes the step limit so full diagrams can be converted and maintained over time.

FAQ
Is Lite really free?
Yes. Lite is a free proof-of-workflow download. An email is used to send the download link and first-run notes.
What does “20 steps” mean?
Lite exports the first 20 process steps found in the diagram. It is enough to validate the dataset structure and the Visio import loop.
Does Lite upload diagrams to a cloud service?
No. Lite runs locally on Windows. Your diagram and dataset stay on your machine unless you choose to share them.
What should be done if Visio shows an import error?
Most import failures are data validation issues (duplicate IDs, missing referenced IDs, invalid shape types, or missing lane/phase values). Use: import troubleshooting.
