Extract text from EDX files
To convert your EDX file to another format, you need Wondershare EdrawMax or other Vector Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Diagramming Project File" file type, you need software like Wondershare EdrawMax or a similar tool.
The .EDX file extension represents a diverse set of technical formats, primarily serving as the legacy XML-based project file for Wondershare EdrawMax. Used widely for creating flowcharts, mind maps, and organizational charts, these files contain vector graphics and layout data in a plain text XML structure. While EdrawMax is a powerful tool, sharing native .EDX files creates friction: recipients must install the specific software or a dedicated viewer to see the content, and the format is not supported by standard web browsers. For broader accessibility, users often convert these diagrams to PDF for documentation, PNG or JPG for web embedding, or SVG for vector editing in tools like Adobe Illustrator.
Beyond diagramming, the .EDX extension identifies specialized data formats in other industries. In healthcare, it functions as a protocol file for Siemens Healthineers MRI scanners, containing zlib-compressed configuration settings for medical imaging sequences. In electronics engineering, it serves as an Electronic Data Exchange file used by Siemens EDA and Altium Designer to transfer electronic component data. These industrial variants are highly proprietary; attempting to open them in a text editor often results in garbled code.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EDX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our EDX converter.
