What is a VSD file?

VSD is the native file format used by Microsoft Visio up to version 2013. It stores diagrams, flowcharts, organizational charts, and other vector-based drawings created in Visio.

VSD files are commonly used in business and engineering to visualize processes, system architectures, and workflows. Since they are binary-based, they were later replaced by the XML-based VSDX format introduced with Visio 2013.

How to open VSD files

VSD files can be opened with Microsoft Visio, LibreOffice Draw, or specialized viewers like Visio Viewer. Some third-party diagramming tools also support importing VSD files with limited features.

You can convert VSD files to JPG, PDF, or SVG using AnyConv or by exporting them from Microsoft Visio.

🎯 Did You Know?

The format that locked teams in
Before VSDX was introduced, many companies relied heavily on VSD files - but because they were binary and hard to integrate with non-Microsoft tools, teams often found themselves “locked in” to Visio. This limitation became a common frustration in IT departments, fueling the demand for more open formats.
