Opening and saving

Formats

Format	Extension	Open	Save
Visio drawing	.vsdx	Available	Available
Visio stencil	.vssx	Available	as .vsdx
Visio template	.vstx	Available	as .vsdx
Visio binary drawing, stencil, template	.vsd, .vss, .vst	Planned read-only	never
PNG image	.png	—	export
SVG image	.svg	—	export

Use File > Open, File > Save, File > Save As and File > Close. Closing a drawing with unsaved changes asks before it discards them. Recently opened files are listed in the File menu.

How Larrygram keeps your files intact

Larrygram reads and writes .vsdx losslessly. Pages, masters, shapes, styles and ShapeSheet cells load into its document model. Anything the model does not cover yet is kept exactly as it was and written back when you save. Every file in the project’s test corpus survives a round trip.

Export PNG and SVG

Export renders pages as images. PNG uses the tiny-skia rasterizer; SVG is a vector file. Choose File > Export in the app, or use the command-line tool:

larrygram-cli export drawing.vsdx --out pages/ --format svg

The default scale is 96 pixels per inch; pass --scale 192 for twice the resolution.

In the browser Planned

In the web build, Open uploads a file from your computer and Save downloads it. Nothing leaves your browser.

Visio compatibility notes

Known gaps

• Visual fidelity is approximate. Drawings render from the values saved in the file; some fills, line styles and text layouts differ from the original.
• Formulas are not evaluated yet. Edits write fixed values, and shapes whose cells have no saved values can draw blank. The ShapeSheet engine is in progress.
• Binary .vsd files do not open yet. Read-only import is planned.
• Not planned for the alpha: data linking, containers and lists beyond keeping them intact, VBA and macros, co-authoring, printing, writing .vsd, and large stencil libraries.

If a file opens wrongly or loses something on save, please report it and attach the file if you can share it.
