Free online ODP to MOV converter

Convert an ODP presentation to MOV when it needs to play as a video on a device or in software that cannot open slide decks. The conversion renders slides as video frames; animations, transitions, and audio may need separate handling.

What the ODP format is

ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) is an open presentation format used for slide decks. LibreOffice Impress and Apache OpenOffice Impress create ODP files, and presentation software may also open or edit them.

What the MOV format is

MOV is a QuickTime multimedia container used for video playback and editing. It can hold different video and audio codecs, so compatibility depends on both the MOV file’s codecs and the player or editor; H.264 video is widely supported.

How to convert ODP to MOV

Online on 101convert.com

Open the ODP-to-MOV converter page, upload one or more ODP files, set Show each page for if needed, then start the conversion and download the MOV file or files. Batch conversion is available, and the page shows the per-file size limit.

Offline with desktop software

LibreOffice Impress and FFmpeg provide a free workflow on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the presentation in Impress and use File → Export to export the slides as PNG images; choose the option to export all slides. Create a text file named slides.txt listing the image files and how long each slide should appear, for example:

file 'slide1.png'
duration 5
file 'slide2.png'
duration 5
file 'slide2.png'

The repeated final image lets the last slide remain visible for its specified duration. Adjust the filenames and durations to match the exported images and desired timing, then run:

ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i slides.txt -vf "fps=30,format=yuv420p" -c:v libx264 output.mov

This makes a 30-fps H.264 MOV. The exported slides are still images, so this method does not preserve presentation animations or transitions.

Microsoft PowerPoint and FFmpeg are an alternative if you have desktop PowerPoint on Windows or macOS. Open the ODP file, then use File → Export → Create a Video and export an MP4. Convert or remux that video to MOV with FFmpeg; if its codecs are supported in MOV, use ffmpeg -i presentation.mp4 -c copy output.mov. Otherwise, re-encode, for example with ffmpeg -i presentation.mp4 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mov. PowerPoint may change or omit ODP features it does not support.

Quality and compatibility

The page-duration setting determines how long each slide appears; static image export cannot retain slide animations, transitions, or embedded sound. H.264 in MOV is broadly compatible, but the recipient’s software must support the codecs used in the file.
