Free online ODP to MP4 converter

Some devices and video platforms cannot open ODP presentations, so converting one to MP4 makes its slides playable as a video. MP4 is also useful for sharing a timed presentation without asking viewers to install presentation software.

What the ODP format is

ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) is a presentation format used for slides containing text, images, charts, and sometimes animations or audio. LibreOffice Impress creates ODP files; Apache OpenOffice Impress and other presentation programs can also open them. You may receive one when someone shares an editable slide deck rather than a video.

What the MP4 format is

MP4 is a video container commonly used with H.264 video. It works on most computers, phones, media players, and video-hosting platforms. Unlike an ODP, an MP4 plays as a timed sequence; viewers cannot edit individual slides as presentation pages.

How to convert ODP to MP4

Online on 101convert.com

1. Upload the ODP file to the converter on the page.
2. Before converting, set show each page for to choose how long each slide appears.
3. Convert the file, then download the MP4.

The page supports batch conversion. It has a per-file size limit, shown on the page.

Offline with desktop software

LibreOffice Impress and FFmpeg provide a free workflow on Linux and macOS. This makes a video from slide images, so it does not retain slide animations, transitions, or narration. Install LibreOffice, Poppler (for pdftoppm), and FFmpeg, then run these commands in a directory containing deck.odp:

1. Export the presentation to PDF: libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir . deck.odp
2. Render each PDF page as a PNG at 150 dpi: pdftoppm -png -r 150 deck.pdf slide
3. Create an MP4 with each slide displayed for five seconds: ffmpeg -framerate 1/5 -i slide-%d.png -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2,fps=25" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p deck.mp4

For a video that uses presentation timings or narration, open the ODP in Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows and select File → Export → Create a Video. Choose a quality and timing option, select Create Video, and save as MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4). Review the imported slides first: some ODP formatting or effects may not transfer exactly.

Quality and compatibility

The five-second duration in the FFmpeg example is fixed for every slide; change 1/5 to another interval to adjust it. Higher PDF rendering resolution produces sharper slide images but increases the video dimensions and file size. The PDF-and-image workflow has no audio; use PowerPoint’s recorded timings and narrations option when those need to be included.
