What is a VSDX file?

VSDX files mostly belong to Visio by Microsoft. VSDX is the filename extension of files containing drawings created with the 2013 and higher editions of Visio vector graphics editor. VSDX files created with Visio contain technical drawings such as network diagrams, database transaction models, business process models, and code execution steps etc. These diagrams are saved as vector graphics in a series of XML files compressed into a ZIP archive using Open Packaging Conventions single container file technology. So, a VSD file is actually a ZIP file with a different filename extension. The VSDX drawing container-file is organized into folders, an EMF thumbnail, and XML/XML.RELS files that make up the pages, window, content types, and themes used in a drawing. The Internet media type for VSDX drawings are application/vnd.visio2013 and application/vnd.visio.

How can I open a VSDX file?

You need a suitable software like Visio to open a VSDX file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your VSDX file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VSDX file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

VSDX file format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the VSDX files is as follows:

The VSDX file ending is primarily used by a single program. The two most common formats are as follows:

The remaining 4% of all VSDX files are different files with different signatures. These files sometimes refer to ankopplung, services, drawing, project or voice. You can get all the details of your VSDX file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .vsdx file to view" above.
