What is VSSX file?
The .VSSX file extension refers to the Visio Stencil File, used with Microsoft Visio, a vector graphics application from Microsoft. The VSSX files store reusable shapes used in creating diagrams within Visio. These shapes are called stencils and they can be created by the user or acquired from collections of ready-made stencils either online or from a third-party program. [ ⏩ ] VSSX file extension
What is VSDX file?
VSDX is a vector drawing file format used by Microsoft Visio, previously called Visio Drawing, to store and distribute diagrams and other drawings. The .vsdx file extension is based on Microsoft's Open XML standards, which makes it easier to share without requiring additional applications or special software. It typically contains images, master page elements, themes, data graphics, shapes, text, layers, hyperlinks, geometry and media files. [ ⏩ ] VSDX file extension
How to convert the file from VSSX to VSDX?
To successfully convert the VSSX file to VSDX, 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.VSSX). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case VSDX (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 VSDX).
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. VSSX to VSDX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting VSSX files to VSDX 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 VSDX, while before this step we had the VSSX file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new VSDX file, or not.
