Open Document Format (ODF)

Open Document Format (ODF) is a standardized file format used for creating and sharing documents like text files, spreadsheets, and presentations. It is open-source, meaning anyone can use or implement it without restrictions, ensuring compatibility across different software applications such as LibreOffice and OpenOffice. ODF files typically have extensions like .odt (documents), .ods (spreadsheets), and .odp (presentations). Its openness promotes flexibility, long-term access, and reduces dependence on proprietary formats, making it a reliable choice for personal, business, and institutional use.
