How it works
Three steps to your converted file
Everything happens in your browser tab - upload, pick a format, download. The heavy lifting runs on our servers.
Upload your file
Drag and drop, click to browse, or paste a URL. Batches take up to 20 files at once - 230+ input formats across video, audio, image, document, and archive types.
Choose an output format
Pick from over a hundred output formats. Filter by category or search by name - every option is open to everyone, no account needed.
Convert & download
Hit Convert and grab your download link moments later. Originals are erased when the job completes; results are cleared within about an hour.
What is a VSTX file?
VSTX is the standard, macro-free template file for Microsoft Visio 2013+, replacing the binary VST format. It relies on the ZIP-compressed XML structure (Open Packaging Conventions) to store layout configurations, styles, and themes that serve as a starting point for new diagrams. The format is chemically distinct from VSDX drawings only in its content type property, which signals the application to generate a copy rather than open the original file.
How to open a VSTX file
Double-clicking a VSTX file in Windows with Microsoft Visio installed triggers the creation of a new drawing based on the template. On non-Windows platforms, OmniGraffle (macOS) and LibreOffice Draw (multi-platform) can import the static template data, though specific formatting properties like complex data binding may be lost during conversion.

What is a PDF file?
The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a comprehensive file format, standardized as ISO 32000, designed to present documents consistently independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. It encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout 2D document, including text, fonts, vector graphics, and raster images, based on the PostScript language. Advanced implementations support interactive form fields, JavaScript scripting, 3D objects (U3D/PRC), and various encryption standards.
How to open a PDF file
PDF viewing is natively supported by all major modern web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and most operating systems via built-in previewers. For advanced manipulation, form filling, or pre-press validation, dedicated software such as Adobe Acrobat DC, Foxit Reader, or open-source tools like Ghostscript and Poppler is required.
