What is a VSD file?

The VSD format is the proprietary binary file format used by Microsoft Visio for storing vector graphics diagrams prior to the release of Visio 2013. It is based on the Microsoft Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Compound File structure, organizing data into streams and storages to contain shape definitions, connectors, metadata, and VBA macros. As a closed, legacy standard, VSD lacks the human-readable transparency of the newer XML-based VSDX format, making programmatic access difficult without specific Microsoft APIs.

How to open a VSD file

Microsoft Visio remains the primary software for opening and editing VSD files. However, newer versions of Visio automatically prompt to upgrade these files to VSDX. Users without Visio can utilize the free Microsoft Visio Viewer to view the diagrams in a web browser. Third-party diagramming tools such as Lucidchart, LibreOffice Draw, and CorelDRAW also possess import filters to read and convert legacy VSD binaries.

What is an EPS file?

The EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format is a legacy vector graphics standard developed by Adobe in the late 1980s. It contains PostScript page description language commands describing 2D vector graphics, bitmap images, and text. Conforming to the Document Structuring Conventions (DSC), an EPS file includes a BoundingBox comment that defines the rectangular area of the graphic. It is strictly a single-page format intended to be embedded within other PostScript documents, often containing a low-resolution TIFF or WMF preview for onscreen display.

How to open an EPS file

While native OS support for EPS is deprecated in modern Windows and macOS (Preview no longer supports it as of macOS Monterey), professional vector editors are required for manipulation. Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW are the industry standards for editing EPS syntax. For viewing or rasterizing without expensive software, users can utilize Ghostscript, Inkscape (open source), or EPS Viewer. Converting to PDF is often recommended for broader accessibility.
