02

Choose an output format

Pick from over a hundred output formats. Filter by category or search by name - every option is open to everyone, no account needed.

03

Convert & download

What is a FODP file?

The FODP format represents a Flat XML OpenDocument Presentation. Unlike the standard ODP format, which utilizes a ZIP-compressed container to hold multiple XML files and assets, FODP stores the entire presentation-including content, styles, and metadata-as a single, monolithic XML document. Adhering to the OASIS OpenDocument standard (ISO/IEC 26300), this human-readable structure facilitates easier version control integration (e.g., Git) and XSLT manipulation without the need for decompression.

How to open a FODP file

FODP files are natively supported by the LibreOffice suite and Apache OpenOffice. Because it is a raw XML file, it can also be inspected using text editors like Notepad++ or VS Code, though rendering the presentation requires an OpenDocument-compliant suite. Microsoft PowerPoint generally requires conversion to ODP or PPTX before opening.

What is a GIF file?

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987, distinguished by its use of the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless data compression algorithm. It supports up to 8 bits per pixel, allowing a palette of 256 distinct colors selected from the 24-bit RGB color space. The GIF89a specification, introduced in 1989, added support for transparent backgrounds, animation delays, and application extensions, establishing it as a standard for simple web animations and low-color graphics.

How to open a GIF file

GIF files possess near-universal compatibility and can be opened natively by all modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and default operating system viewers like Microsoft Photos and Apple Preview. No third-party software is typically required for viewing. For editing frame-by-frame animations or modifying color palettes, raster graphics editors such as GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, or online tools like Ezgif are required.
