About K25 to ODD Conversion
Converting Kodak K25 RAW files to ODD (OpenDocument Drawing) places these early digital camera photographs into an editable vector-capable document container used by LibreOffice Draw and other ODF-compliant applications. While K25 files contain raster data from the DC25's CCD sensor, embedding them in an ODD document enables annotation, captioning, and layout alongside other graphical elements in a standards-based open format.
This conversion serves documentation and presentation use cases where a Kodak DC25 photograph needs to be placed in context — surrounded by labels, arrows, diagrams, or explanatory text within an editable drawing. ODD's ISO 26300 standardization ensures the document remains accessible across applications and over time.
Why Convert K25 to ODD?
Embedding K25 photographs in ODD documents is useful for creating annotated exhibits of early digital photography. Technology history presentations, museum display materials, and educational documents about the evolution of consumer digital cameras benefit from placing DC25 images within structured, captioned layouts that ODD supports.
ODD also serves as a cross-platform editable container. Unlike placing a JPEG in a Word document, ODD files can be opened and edited in LibreOffice Draw on any operating system without licensing costs. For academic and institutional projects documenting photography history, the open-standard nature of ODD aligns with open-access publishing principles.
Common Use Cases
- Create annotated technology history exhibits featuring Kodak DC25 photographs with captions and labels
- Build educational materials about early digital photography with embedded K25 images in editable layouts
- Prepare museum display documents combining DC25 photographs with contextual diagrams and timelines
- Document personal photo archives with annotated DC25 captures in open-standard format
- Produce illustrated presentations about 1990s consumer technology using K25 source images
How It Works
The K25 RAW file is first decoded and demosaiced from the Kodak DC25's proprietary sensor format. The resulting raster image is embedded within an ODD container — a ZIP archive containing content.xml (drawing elements in ODF markup), styles.xml, meta.xml, and the image resource. LibreOffice Draw can then open the ODD file for editing, allowing the user to add annotations, text frames, shapes, and other drawing elements around the embedded photograph.
Quality & Performance
The embedded raster image retains the full quality of the K25 decode — 493x373 pixels at 24-bit color. The ODD container does not alter or recompress the image data. Visual quality is limited by the DC25's original sensor capabilities rather than the output format. The drawing container adds no degradation.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Use LibreOffice Draw to add date stamps, camera model labels, and contextual notes to the embedded DC25 photo
- 2Group the image with its annotations in LibreOffice to keep layout consistent when editing
- 3Export the finished ODD to PDF for sharing with people who do not have LibreOffice installed
- 4Use ODD's layer system to separate the photograph from annotation elements for easier editing
- 5Add metadata to the ODD file's document properties for archival cataloging
K25 to ODD embeds Kodak DC25 photographs into editable OpenDocument Drawing files, enabling annotated presentations and documentation of early digital photography in an open-standard format.
