ODG to PDF - Free Online Browser Tool

Convert the text and labels in an OpenDocument Graphics (ODG) drawing into a PDF document.

An ODG drawing is vector artwork with text on top of it, and this converter handles the text. It does not trace the artwork, and it says so rather than handing back a page that looks emptier than expected.

This odg to pdf utility runs completely inside your web browser. Your document is opened locally and processed on your own device using JavaScript and WebAssembly, so your file is never uploaded to any server. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on how many documents you can handle.

  • 100% client-side - files never leave your device
  • Instant processing, no upload wait
  • Works on desktop, tablet and mobile
  • Free forever, no account required

How to Use the ODG to PDF Tool

Four steps, and the whole thing runs locally on your own device.

  1. Choose the drawing

    Add an .odg file holding labels, captions or annotations you want in a readable form.

  2. Take the text only

    Text and labels are read; the vector linework of the drawing is not reproduced, so a drawing with no words has nothing to convert.

  3. Read the content part

    The package is unzipped and its content part is walked for text, with paragraph ends becoming line breaks.

  4. Save the text document

    The result is a typeset PDF of the drawing's words, which prints and searches cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this reproduce the drawing’s shapes and lines?

No. Vector linework is left out; only text is carried across, so a drawing with no words on it has nothing to convert here.

What should I use if I need the artwork itself?

Export the drawing as SVG from LibreOffice Draw and open it in a vector tool, since this converter does not rasterise or trace vector paths.

Are the labels kept in the order they appear?

Text is read in the order the content part stores it, which follows the drawing order rather than any visual reading order on the page.

Can a large drawing with hundreds of labels be handled?

Yes, although the resulting document becomes long. Every text element found in the package is included in the output.

Is this useful for a diagram with only a title?

Marginally. If a drawing holds one caption, extracting it is quicker by copying from LibreOffice than by converting the whole file.
