What is a .vsdx file?

A .vsdx file is a Microsoft Visio Drawing (version 2013). This is an image format — a picture, drawing or graphic.

How to open a .vsdx file

  • GIMP (free) and IrfanView open a very wide range of image formats, including obsolete ones.
  • XnView MP is the best bet for unusual or legacy image types.
  • Your operating system's built-in viewer may work for mainstream formats.

The registry records this extension against Microsoft Visio Drawing, so software from that family is the most likely match.

How to convert a .vsdx file

  • Open it in GIMP or XnView and export as .png (lossless) or .jpg (smaller).

MIME type

When a .vsdx file travels over the web, servers label it with this MIME type:

application/vnd.ms-visio.drawing.main+xml
