What ODP is

ODP belongs to the OpenDocument Format (ODF) family standardized as ISO/IEC 26300. An .odp file is a ZIP container of XML holding slides, layouts, transitions, and embedded media in an open, royalty-free format.

LibreOffice Impress and OpenOffice Impress use ODP as their native presentation format, the open-source equivalent of PowerPoint.

Opening and converting ODP

PowerPoint can open and save ODP files, though animations and effects sometimes change on conversion. To hand a deck to PowerPoint users, export to PPTX; for a non-editable handout, export to PDF.

Presentations are usually the largest office files because they embed images, fonts, and sometimes video. Compressing or removing embedded media is the quickest way to shrink an .odp.
