Convert VSD to ODG

Understanding VSD and ODG file formats

VSD is a file format used by Microsoft Visio, a diagramming and vector graphics application. It is commonly used for creating flowcharts, organizational charts, and other types of diagrams. ODG, on the other hand, is a file format used by OpenDocument Graphics, which is part of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) for office applications. ODG files are typically used for vector graphics and drawings in applications like LibreOffice Draw.
