ODP is the OpenDocument Presentation format used by LibreOffice Impress, Apache OpenOffice Impress, and Google Slides exports — great for editing, but awkward to share with anyone who doesn't run the same office suite. Converting to PDF locks each slide into a fixed page that opens identically on any device, preserves your fonts and layout, and is the safest format for emailing, printing, or attaching to a submission. Each slide becomes one PDF page; the file is rendered server-side, so you don't need Impress installed.
How to Convert ODP to PDF
- Upload Your ODP File: Drag and drop your
.odppresentation onto the page, or click "+ Add Files" to browse. You can queue several presentations and convert them in one batch. - Pick a Compression Type: Under Advanced Options, choose a preset — Screen (Best) keeps slide images sharp for on-screen viewing, Ebook trims file size for email, and Printer or Prepress retain higher image resolution for print.
- Confirm Slide Layout: Slide dimensions carry over from the presentation, so a 16:9 deck stays widescreen. Animations and slide transitions are dropped, since PDF pages are static — see the FAQ below.
- Convert and Download: Click "Convert" and save your PDF. No sign-up, no watermark.

|---|---|---|
| Standard | OpenDocument, ISO/IEC 26300 | ISO 32000 |
| File structure | ZIP archive of XML files | Page-description document |
| Editable slides | Yes, in Impress/OpenOffice | No — fixed layout |
| Animations & transitions | Yes | Lost (each slide → one static page) |

| Best for | Building and editing decks | Sharing, printing, archiving |
Frequently Asked Questions
Are slide animations and transitions kept in the PDF?
No. PDF is a static, page-based format, so motion effects, slide transitions, and embedded video do not carry over. Each slide is flattened to a single PDF page exactly as it looks at rest. If a build animation reveals bullet points one at a time, the PDF shows the slide with all bullets visible. For an interactive presentation you need to keep the original ODP.
Will my fonts and layout look the same after converting?
Yes — that is the main reason to export to PDF. Fonts are embedded into the PDF during conversion, so the document renders the same on a machine that doesn't have those fonts installed. In our testing, a standard 16:9 Impress deck converts page-for-page with text, charts, and positioned images intact; the most common surprise is that very unusual fonts may be substituted if they can't be embedded for licensing reasons.
How do I make the output PDF smaller for email?
Choose the Ebook compression preset under Advanced Options, which downsamples slide images to a lower resolution and reduces file size. If the PDF is still too large after conversion — image-heavy decks can stay big — run the result through our compress PDF tool for a further reduction.
What if my presentation is a PowerPoint file instead of ODP?
This page only accepts .odp files. If your deck is a PowerPoint .pptx, use our PPTX to PDF converter, which handles the Microsoft format directly. For OpenDocument text documents rather than slides, see ODT to PDF.
Is the conversion private?
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.
