OTP to BZ2 Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Convert BZ2 to ZIP or TAR when modern tools need a friendlier container. If your files are still in OTP format, this page is the shortcut: OTP is the OpenDocument presentation template — the same ODF zip as ODP, holding master slides and theme definitions instead of finished slides.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the OTP format
ODP is the OpenDocument presentation — LibreOffice Impress’s native format, built on the same zip-of-XML idea as PPTX. Files come from public institutions, lecture archives and anyone standardised on open formats.
As with PPTX, text extraction gives you every word in slide order, without the visuals. That is usually exactly what lecture notes and published deck archives are for.
+Strengths
- ✓Open ISO standard, no vendor lock-in
- ✓Native to LibreOffice Impress
- ✓Same machine-friendly zip+XML
!Limitations
- −Text export drops layout and media
- −Fewer third-party readers than PPTX
About the BZ2 format
BZ2 applies the Burrows–Wheeler transform: slower than gzip but noticeably smaller, which is why Wikipedia database dumps and old source tarballs still arrive as .bz2.
Few GUI tools ship a bz2 reader these days, so converting the contents into a ZIP or TAR is the practical way to hand the payload to someone else.
+Strengths
- ✓Better ratio than gzip
- ✓Common in dumps and archives
- ✓Mature, stable format
!Limitations
- −Slow to compress and decompress
- −Declining tool support

Frequently asked questions
Is this OTP to BZ2 converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for OTP to BZ2?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
What about folders and directory structure?
The full directory tree is preserved: folders stay folders, and deep paths arrive exactly as they were packed in the OTP file.
Are the files inside my OTP archive modified?
No. Contents are unpacked in memory and repacked into BZ2 byte-for-byte — the conversion changes the container, never the files inside it.
