OpenDocument Format (ODF)

OpenDocument Format (ODF) is a standard file format used for creating and sharing documents like word files, spreadsheets, and presentations. It is open and non-proprietary, meaning anyone can use, implement, or develop software that supports ODF without restrictions. This promotes compatibility, long-term accessibility, and avoids vendor lock-in. Examples of software that use ODF include LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. ODF files typically have extensions like .odt for documents, .ods for spreadsheets, and .odp for presentations. It ensures your work remains portable and accessible across different programs and platforms.
