About JPG to ODD Conversion
JPG to ODD conversion transforms JPEG photographs and images into OpenDocument Drawing format, making them editable within LibreOffice Draw and other ODF-compatible drawing applications. ODD packages the image within an ODF ZIP structure with drawing metadata, enabling annotation, text overlay, and composition with other elements in an open-source drawing environment.
Our converter processes the JPEG through Sharp's image pipeline and packages it within an ODD-compatible structure. The result opens in LibreOffice Draw where the image can be annotated, combined with other graphics, and exported to various formats.
Why Convert JPG to ODD?
LibreOffice Draw users need images in ODD format for document composition workflows — combining photos with diagrams, adding text callouts, and creating annotated illustrations. Importing a JPG into an ODD wrapper enables these editing workflows within the open-source office suite.
Organizations using LibreOffice as their standard office suite benefit from having images in native ODD format for consistent document workflows. ODD files integrate seamlessly into LibreOffice's cross-application document ecosystem.
Common Use Cases
- Creating annotated images in LibreOffice Draw from JPEG photographs
- Building composite illustrations combining photos and vector elements in ODD format
- Preparing images for inclusion in LibreOffice documents with drawing annotations
- Creating training materials and documentation with annotated photo illustrations
- Integrating photographs into LibreOffice Draw presentation diagrams
How It Works
ODD (OpenDocument Drawing) is part of the ISO/IEC 26300 ODF standard. Files are ZIP archives containing XML content (content.xml, styles.xml, meta.xml) and embedded resources. The JPEG image is placed as a draw:frame element within the content, positioned on the drawing canvas with configurable dimensions. The ODD structure allows additional draw elements (shapes, text boxes, connectors) to be layered over the image.
Quality & Performance
The JPEG image is embedded at its original quality — no re-encoding or quality loss occurs. The image pixels are preserved exactly as they exist in the source JPEG. Any additional annotations or elements added in LibreOffice Draw are stored as vector overlays.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Use LibreOffice Draw's annotation tools to add callouts, arrows, and labels to the embedded photo
- 2Combine multiple JPEGs on a single ODD canvas for comparison layouts and photo boards
- 3Export the annotated ODD as PDF for distribution that preserves both the photo and annotations
- 4For presentation use, copy the annotated drawing from LibreOffice Draw into Impress slides
- 5Keep the original JPEG for full-resolution use — ODD is for the annotated/composite version
JPG to ODD packages photographs for editing in LibreOffice Draw, enabling annotation, composition, and integration into open-source document workflows.
