How to open file with .VSD extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .VSD file? Do you want to convert a .VSD file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .VSD

Full Name Developer Category
Microsoft Visio Diagram Document Format Microsoft Vector Image Files
.VSD

The VSD VSD file extension is associated with drawings created in the software application Microsoft Visio. This vector graphics-based application is used to create diagrams and technical illustrations. It is commonly utilized for producing network diagrams, flowcharts, organizational charts, hardware models, engineering drawings and complex technical illustrations.

File Type & Format

The file stored with this extension contain information about the objects embedded in the diagram, such as type, size, text, color and visibility of various components. They are also saved with properties of dimension lines, measurements and other geometrical related parameters. Visio drawings are often used to represent a work order diagram or a database model. They store drawing elements such as shapes, arrows along with text labels which get saved in an XML format.

Similar formats related to Visio drawings include .VSDM, .VSSX, .VDX, VSDC, .VSTX, .VSSM, .VTX, and .VDW.

Opening VSD Files

Microsoft Visio is the primary app used to work with files that have a.vsd extension; however, other compatible programs exist. Visio Viewer is a free viewer program provided by Microsoft for Windows that allows users to open, view and print.vsd file formats without needing the full suite of features in Visio. Additionally, Google Drive will open.vsd files within Chrome without any additional plug ins required.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VSD) 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 .VSD 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 .VSD 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 .VSD 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 .VSD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VSD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VSD 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 .VSD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VSD file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .VSD file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .VSD file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
