What makes .ODP special
The OpenDocument Presentation format is part of the broader ODF specification (ISO/IEC 26300), first standardized in 2005.

LibreOffice Impress and Apache OpenOffice Impress are the primary editors, but Google Slides and other applications also support import and export. The open standard ensures long-term accessibility and freedom from vendor lock-in, making ODP a preferred choice for government and institutional use.
