Why convert ODG to TIF?
TIFF is the standard raster format for print prepress and document archiving. If a print shop or document management system requires TIFF input, LibreOffice Draw is the direct path. .tif supports lossless compression so full image quality is retained.
How to convert ODG to TIF
LibreOffice Draw FREE
Open the .odg, go to File > Export As, select TIFF, then set DPI and compression (LZW or ZIP for lossless) in the export dialog and click OK.
OpenOffice.org Draw FREE
Use File > Export As and select TIFF; steps are the same as LibreOffice Draw, though LibreOffice is the more actively maintained option.

Open .TIF details →Quality & what to watch
- The default export resolution may be 96 DPI - always set DPI explicitly; 300 DPI is standard for print, 600 DPI for archival.
- Transparency is flattened against a white background in TIFF export; use PNG instead if transparency must be preserved.
- TIFF files at high DPI can be large; LZW compression reduces size without quality loss.
