Convert a file to VSPX

To convert other file formats to the "Performance Profiling Report" file type, you need software like Microsoft Visual Studio or a similar tool.


About VSPX files

The .VSPX file is a Visual Studio Performance Report Data File created by Microsoft Visual Studio. Developers use these files to store detailed diagnostic and profiling data, including CPU usage, memory allocation, and code execution bottlenecks. They are natively opened and analyzed using the Performance Profiler tool within Microsoft Visual Studio. The main disadvantage of the .VSPX format is its proprietary, closed ecosystem. These files can easily exceed hundreds of megabytes during long profiling sessions and require an expensive software subscription to open. Non-developers, project managers, or clients cannot view this raw profiling data. Converting .VSPX to CSV is the best way to analyze the raw metrics in Microsoft Excel. Converting to PDF allows developers to share static visual reports of performance bottlenecks with stakeholders. Exporting to XML makes the data readable for custom parsing scripts, though interactive graphical charts are lost in the process. Because this file format uses a complex, highly specialized data schema, it is notoriously difficult to open or convert with standard tools. Often, only the original Microsoft software can properly read or export the structured data.

Convert.Guru analyzes your VSPX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
