Extract text from OPD files
To convert your OPD file to another format, you need Kofax OmniPage or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "OCR Document" file type, you need software like Kofax OmniPage or a similar tool.
The .opd file extension primarily identifies an OmniPage Document, a proprietary format created by Kofax OmniPage (now Tungsten Automation) or older versions by Nuance. These files contain the raw output of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) sessions, preserving scanned images, recognized text, confidence levels, and complex layout zones to allow for future proofreading.
For most users, the main challenge with .opd files is proprietary lock-in: they cannot be opened in standard viewers like Microsoft Word or web browsers, and require the paid OmniPage software to view or edit. To make the content accessible, users typically convert them to PDF for archiving or DOCX for editing.
In industrial settings, .opd may alternatively refer to OmniScan inspection data (phased array ultrasonics) by Olympus (now Evident Scientific) or Wyko interferometry data used by Veeco and Bruker profilometers. These binary files are strictly for scientific analysis and must be converted to CSV or report formats using their specific vendor software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your OPD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ODP, OPDX, ODT, JPG, PDF, ENC, 103, 102, 128 and PPT files.
If you want to convert OPD file to PPT, INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11 or OMP, you can use Kofax OmniPage or similar software from the "OCR Document Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to OPD, try Kofax OmniPage or another comparable tool in the "OCR Document Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our OPD converter.
