ConceptDraw DIAGRAM (previously known as ConceptDraw PRO [1] ) is proprietary diagramming software used to create business graphics, including: [2] diagrams, flowcharts, Infographics, data visualization for business process models, data presentation and project management documentation. [3] It can also be used for creating professional and technical diagrams, such as: UML diagrams, DFD, ERD, computer networks topology, engineering schemes, floor plans, and other technical graphic formats. The program was developed by CS Odessa in 1999. Since 2008, it has formed a part of ConceptDraw OFFICE. [4] A set of solution add-ons that include collections of task-oriented templates and vector stencils libraries, [5] have been released for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM, relating to certain industry-specific graphical tasks. The software also contains a set of tools for vector graphics drawing, along with a built-in presentation mode. [6]
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM supports its own XML format, and an embedded Basic Script language for creating complex graphic objects, that change in visual appearance depending on external data received from personal files or from the Internet (Live Objects). [7]
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is cross-platform compatible when running on macOS and Windows operating systems: files created on a computer power by macOS can be opened and edited on a Windows computer, and vice versa. [8] The Developer's end-user license agreement allows for cross-platform installation with a single license.
It has import and export roundtrip of the MS Visio file format - can open and save formats that can be used by MS Visio documents (VSD, VDX, and VSDX) users. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM can import both generations of MS Visio stencils (VSS or VSSX) ConceptDraw DIAGRAM supports the round-trip import and export of the Microsoft Visio 2003 - 2016 file format that is used for MS Visio documents (VSD, VDX, and VSDX formats). ConceptDraw DIAGRAM can import both generations of MS Visio stencils (VSS or VSSX). It can export and import MS PowerPoint files and a variety of other graphic file formats. It can also export files to SVG, Adobe PDF and SWF. [9] ConceptDraw DIAGRAM can import data from other ConceptDraw OFFICE applications, such as ConceptDraw MINDMAP and ConceptDraw PROJECT. [10]

Microsoft Visio is a diagramming and vector graphics application and is part of the Microsoft 365 family. The product was first introduced in 1992 by former American software company Visio Corporation, and its latest version is Visio 2021. Microsoft acquired the assets of Visio Corporation in 2000. A lightweight version of Visio is now included with all commercial SKU of Microsoft 365 and is known as Visio in Microsoft 365. It has two other subscription based SKUs. Visio Plan 1 includes the Visio web app whereas Visio Plan 2 provides access to both the web app and the Desktop application.

A number of vector graphics editors exist for various platforms. Potential users of these editors will make a comparison of vector graphics editors based on factors such as the availability for the user's platform, the software license, the feature set, the merits of the user interface (UI) and the focus of the program. Some programs are more suitable for artistic work while others are better for technical drawings. Another important factor is the application's support of various vector and bitmap image formats for import and export.
An image file format is a file format for a digital image. There are many formats that can be used, such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Most formats up until 2022 were for storing 2D images, not 3D ones. The data stored in an image file format may be compressed or uncompressed. If the data is compressed, it may be done so using lossy compression or lossless compression. For graphic design applications, vector formats are often used. Some image file formats support transparency.
Precision Graphics Markup Language (PGML) is an XML-based language for representing vector graphics. It was a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) submission by Adobe Systems, IBM, Netscape, and Sun Microsystems, that was not adopted as a recommendation. PGML is a 2D graphical format, offering precision for graphic artists, guaranteeing that the design created will appear in end user systems with the correct formatting, layout and the precision of color.

The name Wordfast is used for any number of translation memory products developed by Wordfast LLC. The original Wordfast product, now called Wordfast Classic, was developed by Yves Champollion in 1999 as a cheaper alternative to Trados, a translation memory program.

The software is most popular with freelance translators, although some of the products are also suited for corporate environments.
