What is ODF Full Form?

The ODF full form is Open Document Format. It is a zip-compressed, Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based open source file format. It is used to store and exchange text spreadsheets, charts, graphics, and presentations. When you save files under ODF, they are termed OpenDocument. These files have easily recognizable extensions that are similar to the proprietary of Microsoft. The main purpose of ODF is to provide an open standard for data storage that transcends proprietary vendor formats and allows any software tool conforming to the standard access and also handles the ODF-based data.

What are the ODF Extensions?

First things first, filename extensions are simply tags attached to the filename. They are used to designate specific categories or data types in the file. These extensions also enable the software to sort files and help the software understand the type of data file that is opened and read. 

The ODF specification assigns a series of default filename extensions which include the following:

• .ods and .fods for spreadsheets.
• .odg and .fodg for graphics.
• .odt and .fodt for word processing text documents.
• .odp and .fodp for presentations.
• .odf for formulas and mathematical equations.
