A Visio Stencil File (.vss) is a type of vector graphics format used to store shapes and stencils from Microsoft Visio. It contains a collection of shapes with relevant information such as size, shape, color, and text. The file can be used to create diagrams, flowcharts, and other types of visuals in Visio.
VSDM files are based on the Open Packaging Conventions and XML and developers can benefit from this format by learning how to work with these file programmatically. The format inherits many of the same XML structures as its parts from the Visio XML Drawing file format (.vdx). Interoperability with Visio files is greatly increased since third-party software can manipulate Visio files at a file format level.
