Convert a file to VSZ

To convert other file formats to the "Scientific Plotting Document" file type, you need software like Veusz or a similar tool.


About VSZ files

The .VSZ file extension primarily represents a Veusz Plotting Document created by the Veusz scientific plotting package. Researchers use these files to store complex 2D and 3D graphs, datasets, and formatting rules. A secondary use is the Microsoft Visual Studio Wizard file, used by Microsoft Visual Studio to define IDE project templates. Sharing a raw .VSZ file is problematic. The format is highly application-specific and not supported by web browsers. If recipients do not have the exact software installed, they cannot open, view, or print your graphs. This creates major friction during academic peer reviews or when publishing reports. To share graphs effectively, you must convert the .VSZ file into standard formats like PDF, SVG, or PNG. Unfortunately, this format is difficult to open or convert using generic tools because rendering the scientific plot requires the original calculation engine. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the visual data. Just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Because .VSZ files are structured as plain text or Python-like scripts under the hood, our tool can extract the embedded text. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

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