Support for FODP Format
The FODP is a Presentation file saved in the OpenDocument format but saved using a flat XML format, instead of the .ZIP container used by the standard .ODP files. It makes auto-generating presentations simpler and allows the presentations to be readable with a text editor. In the latest release version of Aspose.Slides Cloud SDK for .NET, the support for .fodp format has been provided. It now enables the users to load .fodb file for processing or, load existing PowerPoint files and save to FODB format.

Shapes add visual appeal to your presentations. Aspose.Slides Cloud provides the capabilities to extract/save the shape into one of the following raster image formats.
