AOL ART (ART) is a proprietary, heavily compressed raster image format that America Online used to speed up image loading over dial-up connections. It stores a single still image and trades visible quality for very small file sizes. When AOL members browsed the web, images were re-compressed into ART by AOL's proxy servers — a feature branded TurboWeb and later AOL TopSpeed — which users could turn off. The format is now obsolete.
Support has almost entirely disappeared: Internet Explorer removed ART rendering in a June 2006 security update, and mainstream viewers such as XnView and IrfanView cannot read AOL ART. The one reliable option is Graphic Workshop Professional (Windows) with its ART plugin installed.
Keep in mind that the .art extension is reused by unrelated programs, including Delcam/Autodesk ArtCAM, so a file that refuses to open may simply not be an AOL image. (ImageMagick's "ART" format is also a different format.) If your ART file is an AOL image, convert it to a modern format with our ART to JPG tool.

OpenDocument Drawing (ODD) is a graphics document from the OpenDocument family, the open standard used by LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. The file is a ZIP package containing XML that describes shapes, lines, text boxes, and any embedded bitmaps, so the artwork stays editable and scales without losing quality. Note that the standard extension for OpenDocument drawings is .odg, and .odd files are usually the same kind of drawing document.
The natural application is LibreOffice Draw, which reads the whole OpenDocument family. Apache OpenOffice Draw works equally well.
If the file will not load, try renaming it to .odg first — that is the extension LibreOffice expects for a drawing. Other options include Inkscape, which imports OpenDocument drawings, and Google Drive, which can preview many OpenDocument files in the browser. To share the drawing with someone who has no office suite, convert it to PDF or PNG. You can also convert the file with our ODD to PDF tool.
