Convert ODP to FODP

Understanding odp and fodp file formats

ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) is a widely used presentation file format, primarily associated with LibreOffice Impress and Apache OpenOffice Impress. It is part of the OpenDocument standard and stores slides, text, images, and multimedia content in a compressed XML-based package.

FODP (Flat OpenDocument Presentation) is a flat XML version of the ODP format. Unlike ODP, which is a zipped collection of XML files and resources, FODP stores all presentation data in a single, uncompressed XML file. This makes FODP ideal for version control systems and easier manual editing.

Why convert odp to fodp?

Converting from ODP to FODP is useful when you need a human-readable, single-file XML representation of your presentation. This is especially beneficial for collaborative editing, tracking changes in version control systems, or integrating with automated workflows.

How to convert odp to fodp

The most reliable way to convert ODP to FODP is by using LibreOffice Impress or Apache OpenOffice Impress. Both applications natively support both formats and provide a straightforward export process.

• Open your ODP file in LibreOffice Impress.
• Go to File → Save As.
