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.
Files with .vssm extension are Microsoft Visio Stencil files that support provide support for macros. A VSSM file when opened allows to run the macros to achieve desired formatting and placement of shapes in a diagram.
