How are the diagrams stored in Confluence?
This is a sample Confluence page (in edit mode) containing both the Gliffy and draw.io macro:

One attachment file is the diagram file, containing the digram definition in a macro-specific format. The other attachment is the preview image that is shown on the page.

How do Gliffy and draw.io look in SharePoint Online?
First of all, WikiTraccs migrates the page content and page attachments as usual. So, both the diagram file and the preview image will be available in SharePoint as well.
When migrating page contents, WikiTraccs looks out for Gliffy and draw.io, and replaces those macros with a SharePoint image web part. The image web part is configured to show the respective macro preview image:
Looking at the SharePoint page’s attachments we can see the same files as in Confluence:
This is the result you can expect after migrating Confluence pages with Gliffy or draw.io macros to SharePoint Online using Wikitraccs.
