What is VSS file?
The VSS .VSS file extension is associated with the Microsoft Visio drawing software. It is commonly affiliated with the program because it is used to store groups of visual components, including stencils, shapes and clipart which have been created as separate drawings within its workspace. It contains a collection of designs, which can then be imported into other documents and used in various projects. [ ⏩ ] VSS file extension

How to convert the file from VSS to VSSX?
To successfully convert the VSS file to VSSX, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.VSS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case VSSX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than VSSX).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. VSS to VSSX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting VSS files to VSSX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension VSSX, while before this step we had the VSS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new VSSX file, or not.
