FAQ
VSD to GIF Conversion
What are VSD files?
VSD is the binary drawing format of Microsoft Visio, used by Visio 5 through Visio 2010 before VSDX replaced it. A file of this type stores a diagram of one or more pages, with shapes, connectors, layers, masters, stencils references, text, and shape data, and it was the standard for flowcharts, network maps, floor plans, and engineering schematics for more than a decade. Many archives still contain VSD files, because the format was never dropped from Visio's save options: current versions can open it and write it back, although new work is saved as VSDX. The format is proprietary and compact, but it is harder for other applications to read than the newer XML-based formats.
What are GIF files?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files are widely popular due to their ability to store animations and images in a relatively small size. Their compression algorithm implies the use of a limited color range (up to 256 colors), which means GIF files are great for storing static and animated images of a small size — like logos, icons or avatars, especially if you plan to transfer them or upload them online. GIF images, however, are usually not suitable for high-quality image rendering or printing.
