| Microsoft Visio Drawing XML Format | Microsoft | Data Files |
The VDX file extension primarily functions as a vector graphics file. Developed by Microsoft Visio, the VDX file is saved in a binary format that contains vector graphics, text, and other components of the drawings and diagrams created with Visio. It is encoded in an XML structure, making it readable by multiple applications and with the ability to store data in it. The original Visio vector graphic format was VSD, and the VDX format was introduced with Visio 2003 as an alternative. This allowed for better accessibility of the included vector graphics.
Key Features of VDX Files
A VDX file has most of the features that are included in a Vector Software Document ( VSD) file, but also improves the look and accessibility of it. The most important features of a VDX file are:
- Ability to save both text and vector drawings together, which helps in creating better diagrams such as flowcharts.
- It stores certain components in an XML format, so they can be edited using only text editors.
- Incorporates various elements like shapes, drawings, images, and text for editing.
- It can also be saved as PDF files in order to share easily.
VDX files are related to other file formats like VSDX, VSSX, VSTX, and others.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VDX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .VDX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .VDX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .VDX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .VDX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VDX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VDX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .VDX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VDX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VDX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
