About ODT Viewer
OpenDocument Text (.odt) files — produced by LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and Google Docs' export options — aren't directly readable without compatible office software installed, which not every device or situation has available.
This tool reads a .odt file's actual content structure — headings, paragraphs, and list items — and displays it with that structure preserved, so headings appear as headings and lists as lists, rather than one undifferentiated block of text.
This preserves document structure (what's a heading versus a paragraph versus a list item) rather than full visual page layout — fonts, exact spacing, and inline formatting like bold or italic aren't rendered, so treat this as a structural content reader rather than a pixel-accurate document viewer.
How it works
- Upload a .odt file. Choose an OpenDocument Text file from your device.
- Review the structured content. Headings and paragraphs are shown with their original structure.
- Scroll through the full document. The complete content is shown in a scrollable view.
Examples
Typical use

A LibreOffice Writer document with headings and body text
