What is a .VSD file?
VSD is the legacy binary Microsoft Visio diagram format.
- Did you know
- VSD was Visio’s format before the XML-based VSDX took over.
- VSD was built on Microsoft’s Compound File (OLE2) structure, organising shapes, connectors and VBA macros into internal streams and storages.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify more 3D, CAD and scene files: Google Draco compressed meshes, Gaussian splats (KSplat), Universal 3D, Dassault 3DXML, DirectX .x models, Qubicle voxels, Wings3D, Autodesk Revit (RVT/RFA and templates, build version from BasicFileInfo), Siemens Solid Edge, Navisworks, legacy CATIA V4, terrestrial-scanner point clouds (FARO/Trimble) and legacy binary Visio (.vsd).
- Depth of analysis
- .VSD is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .VSD file
- Drag a .VSD file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
