The OTG .otg file extension is a template file used by LibreOffice software suite. OTG stands for OpenDocument Graphic Template, and it is an application format specifically designed to store documents in extensible markup language (XML). This type of template file is utilized by various programs based on the OpenOffice software framework. OTG files are typically application-specific templates which are used to help users save time as they edit documents and graphics. In general, templates in LibreOffice allow users to create a document more quickly as they do not have to enter the same information multiple times.
OTG documents are often compared to similar document template formats, such as .ots, .odt, and .ott. These three other formats are used to store spreadsheet, text document, and text document template files, respectively. All of these files types contain a wide array of data objects such as spreadsheets, vector graphics, 3D graphics, and formatted texts. Furthermore, both OTG and ODT files employ zipped XML content packages, making them text-based rather than binary files. As such, they are often easier for users to open and edit.
Uses & Benefits of OTG Files
OTG files are particularly useful for saving complex pieces of graphic styled artwork into a single file that can then be shared with others or loaded for future use. Generally speaking, graphic artists often rely on this type of format when creating pieces of illustrations for documents such as books, magazines, and newspapers; especially when collaborating with others online. Similarly, Ubuntu and other Linux distributions utilize this type of template format to easily store graphical documents and drawings.
The overall benefit that is associated with using OTG files is their ability to store multiple pieces of graphics information in one single file which makes them versatile when it comes to editing textual content. Moreover, they make transferring large amounts of data between colleagues or group members possible thanks to their capability of being multi-sourced and much smaller compared to the average image file size.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .OTG) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .OTG extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .OTG file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .OTG extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .OTG extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .OTG file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .OTG file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .OTG file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .OTG file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .OTG file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
