Need help?ODG to MOV Converter
ODG is the vector drawing format of LibreOffice Draw and Apache OpenOffice Draw; MOV is Apple's QuickTime video container. This converter rasterizes your ODG drawing to a fixed-pixel still image, then holds that single frame on screen for a duration you choose, writing it as a MOV clip. The result is a motionless, silent video — a still-frame placeholder of a diagram, logo, or flowchart that drops straight onto a Final Cut Pro or iMovie timeline.

| MIME type | video/quicktime |
| Relationship to MP4 | QTFF is the basis of the ISO Base Media File Format and MPEG-4 |
| Default codec here | H.264 (AVC) |
| Audio | None — this conversion produces a silent clip |
| Best for | Apple ecosystem editing (Final Cut Pro, iMovie, QuickTime Player) |
How to Convert ODG to MOV
- Upload Your ODG File: Drag and drop the drawing or click "+ Add Files" to pick it from your computer. You can queue several ODG files at once.
- Set the Video Resolution: Open Advanced Options and choose a Video resolution (Keep original, a Fixed Resolution, or a Preset like 1920x1080). Because the vector drawing is flattened to fixed pixels here, pick a size at least as large as you'll need — enlarging the MOV later in an editor will look soft.
- Set the Image Duration: Under Image Duration, choose how long the still frame plays (for example 5 seconds per frame); this becomes the length of the MOV. Optionally set a Background Color for any area the drawing doesn't fill.
- Convert and Download: Click Convert to encode the still as an H.264 MOV and download it. No sign-up, no watermark.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the MOV file have any motion or animation?
No. ODG is a static drawing, so the output is a single rasterized frame repeated for the duration you set — a motionless clip. There is no panning, zooming, or transition. If you want movement, add it after import inside your video editor (for example a Ken Burns / zoom effect in iMovie or Final Cut Pro).
Does the MOV include audio?
No. This conversion produces a silent video track only; ODG carries no sound, so nothing is added. Drop the clip onto your timeline and layer your own music or narration underneath it.
Why does the converter rasterize my vector drawing instead of keeping it scalable?
Video is a grid of pixels, so any vector source must be flattened to a fixed raster before it can be encoded. That is why the Video resolution you choose matters: it sets the pixel dimensions the drawing is rendered at. To keep crisp edges, pick a resolution at or above your final timeline size — scaling the MOV up afterward re-samples pixels and blurs thin lines and text. If you only need a sharp still and not a clip, convert ODG to PNG instead.
Which codec does the output MOV use, and will it play in QuickTime?
The MOV is encoded with H.264 (AVC), the default video codec for MOV here. H.264-in-MOV is the native pairing Apple's tools expect, so the file plays in QuickTime Player and imports cleanly into Final Cut Pro and iMovie without transcoding.
Should I export to MOV or MP4 for my project?
Choose MOV if you're editing in Apple software (Final Cut Pro, iMovie, QuickTime) where MOV is the house format. Choose MP4 for the widest cross-platform and web compatibility — both wrap the same H.264 video, but MP4 is more universally accepted outside the Apple ecosystem. For the MP4 route, use convert ODG to MP4.
My ODG has several pages — what happens to them?
A multi-page ODG is rendered by page. With the merge strategy that combines files, the pages are encoded in sequence into one MOV, each shown for the Image Duration you set; the separate-output strategy gives you one clip per page. Note that the still image itself does not move within a page.
Does the converter need LibreOffice installed on my computer?
No. The rasterization happens on our servers, so you don't need LibreOffice, OpenOffice, or QuickTime installed locally — only a browser to upload the ODG and download the MOV.
How are my files handled and how long are they kept?
Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically a few hours after conversion — no sign-up, no watermark, never shared or made public. In our testing, a single-page ODG diagram exported at 1920x1080 for 5 seconds produced a small H.264 MOV of just a few hundred kilobytes, since one static frame compresses very efficiently.
