Free migration tool

Migrate your Microsoft Project plan

Upload a Microsoft Project file and see exactly what carries over to each destination (hierarchy, dependencies, dates, cost) before you migrate. Then move it into Onplana or export it.

One upload, every destination scored

Seventeen seconds on the same free tool above, including what your plan would lose on the way to the other tools you are weighing up.

No account. The file targets download straight from the result.

What does the tool do?

Scores every destination

One upload, a fidelity score for Onplana, MSPDI, CSV, Excel, the Microsoft cloud surfaces, and major competitor tools, so you can compare before you commit.

Shows exactly what carries over

Per destination: which tasks transfer cleanly, which dependencies survive, and which features drop, each with a one-line note explaining the gap.

Migrates into Onplana

Builds a working Onplana project with the full work breakdown structure, all four dependency types with lag, dates, percent complete, milestones and priorities, plus planned, fixed and baseline cost and your custom field values.

Exports a portable file

Download MSPDI XML (MS Project opens it directly), CSV, or Excel to take your plan anywhere, no account required.

How it works

1

Upload your file

Choose a .mpp / .mpx / .xer or MSPDI .xml file, up to 50 MB.

2

Compare destinations

See a per-target fidelity score and exactly what will and will not carry over to each one.

3

Migrate or export

Migrate into Onplana as a working project, or download a file target to import elsewhere.

What happens to your file?

We parse your file in memory to produce the fidelity preview and any file download you request, then discard the bytes. Nothing is persisted for the preview or the file exports.

Only when you choose Migrate into Onplana do we keep the parsed structure (tasks, dependencies, resources) plus a hashed copy of your email, so we can build your project the moment you finish signing up.

We never see the contents of your project beyond the structure shown above, and no data is shared with third parties or used for training.

Frequently asked questions

What can I migrate my Microsoft Project plan into?

Upload a .mpp / .mpx / .xer or MSPDI .xml file and the tool scores how cleanly it carries over to every destination: Onplana, MSPDI XML, CSV, Excel, Microsoft Planner, Project for the web, To Do, Lists, Azure DevOps, and major competitor tools. Today you can download the file targets (CSV, Excel, MSPDI), migrate directly into Onplana, and from there write into Microsoft Planner or To Do. The other destinations are a preview of what would carry over.

Which destination keeps the most of my plan?

As a working project, Onplana. "Migrate into Onplana" builds your project with the full work breakdown structure, all four dependency types with lag, dates, percent complete, milestones, priorities and task notes. It also carries planned, fixed and baseline cost, rolled up into the project budget, and your custom field values. The fidelity score on each card shows how much each destination keeps.

How do I migrate to Microsoft Planner or To Do?

Click "Migrate via Onplana" on the destination card. The public tool is anonymous, so it has no Microsoft identity to write into your tenant with. A free Onplana signup gives you a workspace plus a signed-in identity, and from inside that workspace you connect Microsoft once and push your plan into Planner or To Do. Project for the web is preview only: writing into it needs a Microsoft permission the connection does not request.

Is there a binary .mpp export?

No. There is no binary .mpp writer (a licensing limitation of the parsing library). The round-trip format for Microsoft Project is MSPDI XML, which MS Project opens directly via File, Open. The tool produces MSPDI XML, CSV, and Excel as downloadable files.

What happens to my uploaded file?

It is parsed in memory to produce the fidelity preview, then the bytes are discarded. Nothing is persisted for the preview or the file downloads. Only when you choose "Migrate into Onplana" do we keep the parsed structure (tasks, dependencies, resources) plus a hashed email so we can build your project the moment you finish signing up. We never share your data or use it for training.

Do I need an account to use the tool?

No. The fidelity preview and the file downloads (CSV, Excel, MSPDI) are free and need no signup. You only create an account when you choose to migrate into Onplana, which is what builds your live project from the plan.

Move your Microsoft Project plan.

Move it into Onplana with its hierarchy, dependencies, dates and cost, or download it as Excel, CSV or Project XML.
