About ODD to BMP Conversion
Converting ODD (OpenDocument Drawing) files to BMP rasterizes vector drawings created in LibreOffice Draw into uncompressed bitmap images. ODD files contain structured vector graphics — shapes, connectors, text frames, embedded images, and layered drawing elements — stored in the ODF (OpenDocument Format) specification. BMP output flattens this layered vector content into a single pixel grid that any image viewer or application can display without requiring LibreOffice or any ODF-compatible software.
This conversion serves situations where the visual content of a drawing needs to reach systems or audiences that cannot process ODF documents. Industrial displays, legacy image processing pipelines, and embedded systems that accept only raw bitmap input can receive ODD drawing content through BMP conversion. The uncompressed nature of BMP guarantees zero compression artifacts in the rasterized output.
Why Convert ODD to BMP?
ODD files require LibreOffice Draw or another ODF-compliant application to render correctly. Many recipients — clients, vendors, non-technical stakeholders — do not have these applications installed. BMP provides the most basic, universally viewable raster format, readable by every operating system's built-in image viewer and by applications dating back to the early 1990s.
BMP is also the required input format for certain specialized systems. Machine vision pipelines, CNC engraving machines, and laboratory instrument displays that accept only uncompressed bitmap data can receive ODD drawing content through this conversion. The raw pixel data in BMP requires no decompression step, which matters for resource-constrained embedded processors.
Common Use Cases
- Export LibreOffice Draw diagrams as universally viewable BMP images for non-technical stakeholders
- Feed ODD technical drawings to industrial systems that require uncompressed bitmap input
- Create rasterized snapshots of ODD vector layouts for inclusion in legacy documentation systems
- Provide ODD diagram content to embedded display hardware that only supports BMP format
- Generate bitmap reference images from ODD source drawings for visual comparison and QA workflows
How It Works
LibreOffice processes the ODD file, rendering all drawing elements — vector shapes, connectors, text frames, gradients, shadows, and embedded images — onto a raster canvas at the specified DPI. The rendered output is written as a Windows DIB (Device Independent Bitmap) at 24 bits per pixel with no compression (BI_RGB). File size is predictable: width x height x 3 bytes plus headers. At 300 DPI, an A4-sized ODD drawing produces approximately 25 MB of BMP data.
Quality & Performance
BMP applies zero compression, so the rasterized output is pixel-perfect — no artifacts, no color shifting, no quality degradation from the format itself. Quality depends on the chosen DPI: 72-96 DPI for screen viewing, 150 DPI for general print, 300 DPI for professional print. Vector elements like text and lines render with crisp anti-aliased edges at sufficient resolution. Gradients and shadows from the ODD source render smoothly at high DPI.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Use 300 DPI for print-quality rasterization of ODD drawings with fine detail and small text
- 2Consider PNG instead of BMP for the same lossless quality at 60-80% smaller file sizes
- 3Flatten all layers in LibreOffice Draw before conversion if you want a specific layer ordering in the BMP output
- 4Install the same fonts on the conversion server that your ODD drawings use to ensure accurate text rendering
- 5For very large ODD drawings, lower the DPI to avoid multi-gigabyte BMP files
ODD to BMP converts LibreOffice Draw vector drawings into universally viewable uncompressed images, delivering zero-artifact rasterized output for legacy systems, industrial hardware, and maximum-compatibility scenarios.
