Convert VSDX to EDX

Understanding VSDX and EDX file formats

VSDX is the default file format for Microsoft Visio diagrams, introduced in Visio 2013. It is based on the Open Packaging Conventions standard and stores vector graphics, shapes, and diagram data in a ZIP-compressed XML structure. EDX files are used by Edraw Max, a popular diagramming tool, to save flowcharts, mind maps, network diagrams, and other visual documents. EDX is a proprietary format optimized for Edraw's features and compatibility.
