How do I convert ODD to PDF?

Upload your ODD file above. It is converted to PDF automatically (change the output format or quality in the Settings tab if you need to), then click Download. There is nothing to install.

Does converting ODD to PDF lose quality?

No. Text and shapes stay vectors, so the PDF stays sharp at any zoom and prints crisply.

ODD or PDF: which should I use?

Use ODD for drawings made in OpenDocument apps. Use PDF for sharing, printing and archiving complete documents. Keep in mind the main drawback of PDF: editing it needs a PDF editor.

Some apps save OpenDocument drawings with an .odd extension. Image viewers and websites don’t recognise it, so the drawing needs converting before it can be shared.

Are all pages converted?

Yes. Every page of the ODD becomes a page in the PDF, in the same order.

Is the ODD to PDF converter free?

Yes. Convert, preview and download a single result without creating an account. Premium adds batch conversion (many files into one ZIP) and larger uploads.

Making a shareable PDF from an .odd drawing

Converting an .odd drawing to PDF solves the extension problem for good: the PDF opens in any browser or on any phone, and the person receiving it never needs to know what an .odd file is. Every page of the drawing is included, and text and shapes remain vectors that stay crisp when zoomed.

Before the drawing is opened, the converter checks that it really is an OpenDocument drawing and blanks any reference to files or web addresses outside the package. Embedded pictures carry over normally, while linked ones end up empty, so if your drawing relies on linked images, embed them in the drawing app and save again.

Typefaces that are not on hand are swapped for similar ones, so read through labels and titles. Then compress the PDF if it is going by email, or sign it when the drawing is a plan or approval sheet that needs your signature.
