Extract text from compressed graph diagrams (GRAPHMLZ)
To convert GRAPHMLZ diagrams to another format, you need yWorks yEd or other Vector Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Compressed Diagram File" file type, you need software like yWorks yEd or a similar tool.
A .graphmlz file is a compressed graph diagram file primarily generated by the yWorks yEd Graph Editor. It stores mathematical graphs, network structures, nodes, edges, labels, and layout properties. The underlying format is an XML-based graph description language, which is compressed using GZIP to significantly reduce the file size on your hard drive.
Users typically interact with these files using desktop applications like yEd or other specialized visualization tools that support the GraphML standard.
The main disadvantage of the .graphmlz format is its lack of portability. You cannot embed these files directly into Word documents, presentations, or websites. Sharing them with clients or colleagues is problematic because the recipient must download and install specialized desktop software just to view the diagram. If they do not have yEd installed, the file is essentially useless to them.
To share these diagrams effectively, you must convert them to standard visual formats. Target PDF or SVG to maintain crisp vector quality and scalable text. For simple web sharing or embedding into emails, PNG or JPG are practical choices, though they lose vector scaling capabilities. You can also decompress the file into a standard, uncompressed GRAPHML text file.
Because .graphmlz files are actually zipped XML documents rather than standard raster images, generic online image converters usually fail to process them. They cannot execute the complex layout algorithms required to render the graphical data. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the visual graph. If our analysis detects a supported embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GRAPHMLZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GRAPHML files.
If you want to convert GRAPHMLZ file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use yWorks yEd or similar software from the "Compressed Graph Diagram Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to GRAPHMLZ, try yWorks yEd or another comparable tool in the "Compressed Graph Diagram Storage" category.
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 GRAPHMLZ converter.
