About VSSM files

VSSM files are Microsoft Visio stencils that support macros, allowing for the automation of repetitive tasks. While these files are incredibly useful within Visio, converting them to other formats can be challenging due to their complex structure and embedded macros.

Common file extensions to which VSSM files can be converted include VSDX, PDF, and SVG. These formats make sharing and viewing diagrams easier, especially when the receiver does not have Visio installed.

Conversion is usually performed using software like Microsoft Visio itself, which can save VSSM files in different formats. However, this requires having a licensed copy of Visio. Other alternatives include using LibreOffice Draw, though compatibility may vary and not all features may be preserved during conversion.

Challenges in converting VSSM files include maintaining macro functionality, ensuring all elements are accurately represented in the new format, and dealing with potential data loss or format inconsistencies. These drawbacks highlight why using VSSM files can be cumbersome and why conversion is often necessary.

The VSSM Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best VSSM converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
