To convert other file formats to the "Flowchart Diagram File" file type, you need software like iGrafx FlowCharter or a similar tool.
About IGX files
The .igx file is primarily used to store business process flow diagrams created by iGrafx software. It contains vector shapes, text, styling, and metadata used for process modeling, organizational charts, and workflow logic. These files are natively managed and edited using iGrafx FlowCharter or iGrafx Process. The major disadvantage of the .IGX format is its highly proprietary nature. It uses a closed, specialized structure based on the Microsoft Compound File Binary Format (CFBF). Without an active iGrafx desktop license, recipients cannot open, view, or print the file. Standard web browsers and regular graphic editors completely fail to read it, which causes significant friction when sharing workflows with external clients or non-technical teams. For broad distribution and universal viewing, you should convert your .igx files to .PDF documents. If you need to embed the diagram in a web page or presentation, convert it to standard image formats like .PNG or .SVG. Note that converting to these static formats will drop any interactive simulation data or proprietary workflow logic. Because the exact binary encoding is hidden and complex, generic online converters usually fail to process .IGX files. Often, only the original iGrafx software can accurately render the exact vector spacing. However, just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format. We will analyze the internal CFBF structure, check for unencrypted text metadata or embedded preview images, and convert it if a supported data stream is found. Note: A small percentage of .igx files are completely unrelated to diagrams and are instead used as encrypted navigation data by NNG iGO Navigation or as motor configuration files by iGUS drylin E drives.
Convert.Guru analyzes your IGX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert IGX file to SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, JPG, CDR, WMF, EMF, SWF, FLA, XFL or SKETCH, you can use iGrafx FlowCharter or similar software from the "Business Process Flow Diagram" 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 IGX, try iGrafx FlowCharter or another comparable tool in the "Business Process Flow Diagram" category.
The IGX 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 IGX converter.
