Need help?ODG to AV1 Converter
ODG is a vector drawing file from LibreOffice Draw and Apache OpenOffice Draw; AV1 is the royalty-free video codec from the Alliance for Open Media. This conversion renders your ODG page to pixels and wraps that single still image in a short, silent AV1 video clip — useful when you need a drawing as a video element rather than a static picture. If you only want an editable or printable copy, convert ODG to PDF or ODG to SVG instead; for a plain picture, use ODG to PNG.
What This Conversion Actually Produces
Because ODG is a vector format and AV1 is a video codec, two things happen during conversion:
- The drawing is rasterized. Vector shapes and text are rendered to a fixed pixel grid at the resolution you choose. The output is no longer infinitely scalable — zoom past its native size and you will see pixels.
- The result is a silent, still-frame video. There is no audio track and no animation; the clip shows your rendered ODG page for the duration you set (the default is 5 seconds per image). Raw
.av1is a bare elementary stream, so for playback in most apps you will usually want it in a container — convert the result with AV1 to MP4 or AV1 to WebM.

How to Convert ODG to AV1
- Upload Your ODG File: Drag and drop your
.odgdrawing onto the page or click "+ Add Files" to browse for it. You can queue several drawings and convert them with the same settings. - Set Image Duration and Resolution: Choose how long the still image plays under "Image Duration" (default is 5 seconds per image), then pick "Keep original" or a fixed size under "Video resolution".
- Pick a Quality Preset and Background Color: Under "File Compression", set the "Quality Preset" and "Preset" level (Very High is the recommended default); set "Background Color" to fill any area outside the drawing (default black).
- Convert and Download: Click "Convert" and download your AV1 clip. Files upload over an encrypted connection, are processed on our servers, and are deleted automatically after a few hours. No sign-up, no watermark.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my AV1 video silent and not animated?
ODG is a still drawing, not a timeline, so there is nothing to animate or play as sound. The converter renders your drawing to a single image and holds that frame for the duration you set, producing a silent, static clip. If you want motion, you would need a source that already contains multiple frames or audio.
Will I lose quality converting a vector ODG to AV1?
The vectors are rasterized, so the drawing becomes a fixed-resolution image and is no longer infinitely scalable. Pick a resolution at or above the size you will display it at to keep edges crisp. The AV1 encoding itself is efficient, but the rasterization is the step where scalability is lost — if you need to keep the drawing editable, convert to ODG to SVG instead.
Can my media player open a raw .av1 file?
Often not directly. A raw .av1 file is a bare elementary stream with no container metadata, so many players expect it inside MP4, WebM, or MKV. For the broadest compatibility, run the output through AV1 to MP4 so the stream sits in a standard container. AV1 decoding itself works in Chrome 70+, Firefox 67+, and Edge 121+; Safari 17 plays AV1 only on devices with a hardware decoder.
Should I convert ODG to AV1 or just to an image?
If you simply need a picture of the drawing, ODG to PNG is the better choice — it is a single lossless image that opens everywhere. Convert to AV1 only when you specifically need a video element, for example to drop the drawing into a video editor or a <video> tag on a web page.
How long does the output clip play?
It plays for the Image Duration you choose, which defaults to 5 seconds per image. Because the frame never changes, a longer duration only increases file size; a few seconds is usually enough for a title card or placeholder.
Is converting ODG to AV1 here private?
Yes. Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and files are never shared or made public.
What resolution should I pick for the AV1 clip?
In our testing, exporting a single-page ODG diagram at 1920x1080 with the Very High quality preset produced a sharp, small clip suitable for web embedding. Match the resolution to where the video will be shown — choose 1280x720 for lightweight previews or 3840x2160 only if the drawing will be displayed at 4K.
