Import images, data, and screenshots directly into your board.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to:
- Import images

Import images
Cacoo allows you to import images directly from your device, a URL, and third-party apps including Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, Adobe, and Visio. Images can be imported in PNG, GIF, JPEG, and SVG formats.
There are three ways to import an image:
- Select the 'Import' icon in the tool menu and then the location of the image you want to import.
- Drag and drop the image from your device directly into the board.
- Copy and paste the image into the board.
To import multiple images from your device, hold down the “Ctrl” or “Command ⌘” key while selecting the images. You can choose to import all images into the same or individual sheets.
To import AWS architecture and database schema, select the import icon in the tool menu and “Show more” at the bottom of the panel.
Visio
Easily import Visio files into a Cacoo board to:
- Edit Visio files with others in real-time
- Easily access your Visio boards through cloud storage from any computer
To import a file from Visio:
- Make sure that your Visio file is saved in VSD, VDX or VSDX format.
- In the Cacoo editor, click on the 'Import' icon from the tool menu and select Visio.
- A Dialogue box will pop up. Navigate to the board you want to insert, select it, and click Open.
- After opening the board, your Visio file will appear within the Editor. You can then begin editing any of its elements using the Inspector and Stencil menus.
Import website screenshots
To import a screenshot directly from a public URL:
- Select the import icon in the tool menu.
- Select the URL icon.
- Enter the website URL.
Edit images
To edit an imported image or screenshot, select the image to open the editor menu. From there, you can edit the line style and shadow, add a link, change the stack order, and crop the image. You can also convert SVG files into editable shapes.
