Will speaker notes appear?

No - speaker notes live on the notes view in Impress, not on the slide itself, so they don't appear in the JPG output. To export notes alongside slides, use Impress's File > Export As PDF with the Notes Pages option enabled, then run PDF-to-JPG on the result.

More about converting ODP to JPG

ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) is the native presentation format for LibreOffice Impress and Apache OpenOffice Impress, standardized under ISO/IEC 26300. The file is a ZIP archive holding slide XML, master slide definitions, embedded media, and theme references. It's the default save format in Impress on every Linux distribution and is mandated in many European and South American government environments where Microsoft PowerPoint dependence is explicitly prohibited. Educational institutions in Germany, Brazil, and India often ship ODP curricula materials.

Converting ODP to JPG rasterizes each slide as one JPG at the presentation's set slide size - typically 1920x1080 for modern 16:9 decks, 1024x768 for legacy 4:3, or custom for poster decks. Embedded images, charts, SmartArt-equivalents (Impress diagrams), shapes, text boxes, and master slide backgrounds all render as they appear in Impress's slide-show view. Animations, transitions, and slide-by-slide builds collapse to their final state since JPG is static. Speaker notes are stripped (they live on the notes view, not the slide).

Teachers preparing handouts from Impress decks, conference presenters sharing slides on platforms that reject .odp uploads, and government communications staff distributing ministerial briefings as image carousels are typical audiences. For editable handoff to PowerPoint use Impress's File > Save As > .pptx. For sharing animations export to MP4 from File > Export > Video first, then frame-extract. Slide dimensions match the canvas: a 1920x1080 deck produces 1920x1080 JPGs, scalable up via the master Slide Properties.

When you'd use this

Reasons to convert ODP to JPG usually come down to compatibility, file-size, or specific feature requirements. Common situations:

  • An app or platform only accepts JPG uploads.
  • You need a feature unique to JPG (e.g. transparency, vector scaling, animation, multi-page pages, etc.) that ODP doesn't provide.
  • You're optimising file size — modern formats often produce smaller files than the older format you started with.
  • You need a single archival format across a project so files behave consistently in the same viewer.

How to do it in jpg.now

  1. Open the ODP → JPG tool on jpg.now.
  2. Drag your ODP file onto the drop zone, or click Select files. You can drop a whole folder of files at once.
  3. The output is fixed to JPG. If the format supports extra options (page size, transparency background, quality, EXIF stripping), tweak them in the right-hand panel.
  4. Click Convert. The job runs on our server and finishes in a few seconds for typical photos.
  5. Download the result. Files stay in storage for 24 hours and are then permanently deleted.

The entire flow is free for the first 10 jobs per day with no signup required. A free account doubles that quota; a premium plan removes the limit entirely.

Tips and common pitfalls

  • Set a custom slide size before designing if your target is LinkedIn (1080x1080) or Instagram (1080x1350) - resizing after layout breaks alignment.
  • Hide background images on title slides via Slide > Slide Properties > Background for a clean white export suitable for print handouts.
  • Animations and builds collapse to their final visible state - design slides that read sensibly without animation if you'll be exporting to JPG.
  • Use the Outline view in Impress to verify text content survives the export - decorative text inside grouped shapes sometimes renders unexpectedly.
  • For multilingual decks, embed fonts via Tools > Options > Load/Save > General > Embed Fonts to ensure CJK and Cyrillic characters render correctly on conversion servers.
