How to open an ODP presentation without LibreOffice
An `.odp` presentation came from a school, a university or an office, and you do not have LibreOffice. You do not have to install it: there are three other ways to open the file.
What ODP is
.odp (OpenDocument Presentation) is the presentation format of LibreOffice Impress and OpenOffice, an open counterpart of .pptx. It is chosen where people work with free software: schools, universities and government offices.
1. PowerPoint
If the computer has PowerPoint, it opens .odp with File → Open. The formats differ, so fonts, spacing and effects sometimes shift.
2. Google Slides
Upload the file to Google Drive and open it in Google Slides — it is converted to Google’s format. You need a Google account, and the presentation stays on Drive until you delete it.
3. Slides in OsonKit
Drop the file on OsonKit. The slides are drawn right in your browser: backgrounds, shapes, gradients, text, lists, tables and pictures. Move between slides with thumbnails, arrow keys or a swipe, search the text and print one slide per page. The file is sent nowhere — no account, no install, and it works on a phone too.
- Fonts and small details may differ slightly from LibreOffice.
- Animations and transitions do not play; charts and other embedded objects are shown as their saved picture.
- Files up to 50 MB and 1000 slides. Templates (
.otp) open too.
Which way to choose
Need to edit — PowerPoint or Google Slides. Just need to view or present the slides, especially if the presentation is personal or for work — OsonKit: the file never leaves your device.
.docx or .xlsx — both open here in full.
