What is a VSD file?
VSD – Microsoft Visio drawing. VSD is the drawing format of Microsoft Visio, used for diagrams and flowcharts. Only the first page of a drawing is converted.
VSD Converter →What is a PNG file?
PNG – PNG image. PNG keeps every pixel as it was, which keeps the sharp edges of text. A page converted to PNG is a picture of it, with the text no longer selectable.

Good to know
- The VSD drawing is drawn by Inkscape. Only the first page is converted.
- The drawing becomes a picture of its page (96 dots per inch): set the size or the dots per inch in Options. A picture cannot be scaled up without blurring, which is what a drawing is for.
- Diagrams made of many pages give only the first page.
- Each page becomes a picture. A document with more than one page comes back as a ZIP with a PNG for each page, drawn at 150 dots per inch unless you choose otherwise in Options.
- The text in the pictures cannot be selected or searched.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting VSD to PNG free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my VSD files uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because drawing a VSD file needs Inkscape, which does not run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The server has no internet access while it works on your file.
How large can the VSD file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Will the PNG look the same as the VSD?
The drawing becomes a picture of one size, so it looks the same at that size but cannot be scaled up without blurring.
Can I convert several VSD files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
Can I choose pages or quality for the PNG?
Yes. Click Options next to the file. Only the settings that make sense for VSD to PNG are shown.
