About GRAFFLE files
A .GRAFFLE file is a document created by OmniGraffle, a professional diagramming and vector graphics application developed by The Omni Group for macOS and iOS. It is heavily used by designers and system architects for wireframing, flowcharts, family trees, and complex network diagrams. The major disadvantage of the .GRAFFLE format is its proprietary nature and strict OS lock-in. Because OmniGraffle is exclusive to Apple platforms, Windows and Linux users cannot open these files natively. Sharing a .GRAFFLE file with colleagues who do not own an expensive Mac-only license creates immediate workflow blockers. Furthermore, standard web browsers do not support rendering this format. To share these diagrams universally, users must convert .GRAFFLE to standard formats like PDF for static document sharing, SVG for scalable vector editing, or PNG and JPG for web embedding. Note that converting out of the native format means losing dynamic OmniGraffle features like auto-layout properties, interactive action links, and specialized stencil metadata. This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert without the original macOS software. The internal structure varies wildly - it can be a flat XML document, a GZIP file, or a ZIP-based package containing embedded images and a data.plist file. Emphasize that often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GRAFFLE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert GRAFFLE file to SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, JPG, CDR, WMF, EMF, SWF, FLA, XFL or SKETCH, you can use OmniGraffle or similar software from the "Diagram and Vector Graphics" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert AFPUB, EPS, FIG, VSD, SKETCH, VDX, AFPHOTO, PDF, AFDESIGN, SVG, VSDX or AI files to GRAFFLE, try OmniGraffle or another comparable tool in the "Diagram and Vector Graphics" category.
The GRAFFLE Converter Story
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 GRAFFLE converter.
