Open VSDX File

VSDX files were introduced by Visio 2013 and are used to save drawings.

Visio 2013 is a program used to make technical drawings and illustrations, and in this case, VSDX files store shapes, lines, text, and other objects arranged on a canvas in a free form.

VSDX files are mostly used for storing flow charts, process diagrams, flow charts, and other types of drawings.

The VSDX format is an evolution of the older binary VSD format and the XML-based VDX format used by versions prior to Visio 2010.

The VSDX format uses Open Packaging Conventions (OPC), which is based on XML and uses a ZIP container to package all the content of the drawing.

Contents of a VSDX file

  1. Masters: a collection of shared page layouts.
  2. VisioDocument: page sequence and resource collection
  3. Pages: layout and graphic elements for individual pages of the document.
  4. Shapes: graphic elements and their properties.
  5. Data Connections: A collection of rules that describe the process of downloading external data, which can affect the final appearance of a document.


If you do not have the Visio 2013 program, it is possible to view the contents of a VSDX file by simply renaming its extension to ZIP and unzipping the file.

VSDX files are both files and packages, due to their nature.

VSDX files are also closely related to the following set of file types:

  • VSDM for storing macro-enabled drawings.
  • VSTX to store templates.
  • VSTM to store macro-enabled templates.

To work with VSDX files, you must have the following software package:
