XWD to ODD Converter

XWD (X Window Dump) is a screen capture format native to the X Window System used on Unix and Linux platforms. It captures and stores exact pixel-for-pixel copies of windows or screen regions from an X display.

The format includes a header with information about the display characteristics followed by the raw pixel data. XWD preserves the exact visual appearance of the captured screen, including color depth, pixel format, and visual class information.

XWD was primarily used for documentation, debugging, and sharing screenshots in Unix/Linux environments. It's commonly created using the 'xwd' command-line utility that comes with the X Window System.

XWD files can be viewed directly in X Window environments using the 'xwud' (X Window Utility - Display) command-line tool that is part of the standard X utilities.

Graphics applications like GIMP and ImageMagick have built-in support for opening XWD files on various platforms, not just Unix/Linux systems.

Some comprehensive image viewers like XnView and IrfanView can display XWD files with their extended format support or additional plugins.

To convert XWD files to modern formats like PNG, JPEG, or WebP, our specialized X Window converter preserves the exact pixel data and display characteristics of your original screenshots.

For system administrators and documentation authors working with legacy Unix/Linux materials, our batch conversion tools can process multiple XWD screenshots efficiently for inclusion in modern documentation.

When converting XWD files captured at unusual color depths or with special visual classes, our service handles the color space transformation appropriately to ensure accurate reproduction across different platforms.

ODD (OpenDocument Drawing) is a file format used for vector drawings and diagrams in the OpenDocument format standard. It's most commonly associated with LibreOffice Draw and Apache OpenOffice Draw applications.

ODD files store vector graphics, text elements, and object information in an XML-based format, making them portable across different platforms and applications that support the OpenDocument standard.

These files can contain multiple pages of drawings, diagrams, flowcharts, and other vector-based illustrations, with support for layers, text, and embedded objects.

ODD files can be opened directly with LibreOffice Draw and Apache OpenOffice Draw, which offer full editing capabilities.

Some other vector graphics programs may offer limited support for ODD files through import filters or plugins.

If you don't have these applications installed, you can use LibreOffice Online or other web-based OpenDocument viewers for quick access to the content.

To convert ODD files to other formats like PDF, SVG, or PNG, use our online converter that preserves the vector quality and layout of your drawings.

LibreOffice Draw and OpenOffice Draw also offer export options to common formats including PDF, SVG, PNG, and JPG directly from their applications.

When converting to raster formats like PNG or JPG, consider specifying a high resolution to maintain the quality of detailed drawings.
