What is a VSSX file?
VSSX is the standard stencil format for Microsoft Visio 2013 and newer, designed to store collections of reusable vector shapes and connectors without embedded macros. It employs the XML-based Open Packaging Conventions (OPC), encapsulating shape definitions, styles, and metadata within a compressed ZIP structure. Unlike VSSM, the VSSX structure strictly forbids VBA code, making it a macro-free alternative for distributing custom component libraries.
How to open a VSSX file
Microsoft Visio allows users to load VSSX files into the 'Shapes' pane for drag-and-drop usage on diagrams. For users without Visio, standard decompression tools like 7-Zip can inspect the internal XML structure, while LibreOffice Draw and MyDraw serve as capable third-party alternatives for viewing and utilizing the vector stencils on Linux and macOS.
