DokuWiki to OPML Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
DokuWiki markup powers one of the most popular self-hosted wiki engines — plain-text syntax stored in files rather than a database, common on intranets and documentation servers. Convert OPML outlines into Markdown or Word documents, or turn bullet lists back into an importable outline.
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.
How DokuWiki compares to OPML

| Structure | Plain-text wiki markup | XML <outline> tree |
| Compatibility | DokuWiki engines, intranets | RSS readers, outliners, Pandoc |
| Best for | Team documentation, intranet wikis | Subscriptions lists and mind maps |

About the DokuWiki format
DokuWiki is a file-based wiki engine that stores pages as plain-text markup instead of a database — the reason it dominates intranets, docs servers and anything that must survive without MySQL. Its syntax uses == headings ==, **bold**, and indented lists.
Migrating a DokuWiki means converting hundreds of pages out of its syntax. Pandoc reads the full grammar, so a namespace of pages becomes Markdown or Word documents in one pass.
+Strengths
- ✓File-based — no database to back up
- ✓Clean readable syntax
!Limitations
- −Plugins extend syntax non-portably
- −Small ecosystem outside DokuWiki itself
About the OPML format
OPML (Outline Processor Markup) is XML for hierarchies: nested <outline> elements, each with text and optional attributes. It is the silent standard behind podcast and RSS subscription lists — every "export subscriptions" button produces one — and the interchange format for outliners like Workflowy, Dynalist and OmniOutliner.
An outline is already half a document: Pandoc turns OPML hierarchies into Markdown headings, Word outlines or HTML pages with the nesting preserved, and can write OPML back out so a bulleted plan becomes an importable tree in your outliner of choice.
+Strengths
- ✓Universal outline exchange between outliners
- ✓The RSS/podcast subscription standard
- ✓Trivially parseable XML
!Limitations
- −Hierarchies only — no rich text per node
- −Attribute conventions vary between apps
- −Rarely rendered directly for humans
Why convert DokuWiki to OPML?
Think of it as moving your file to the container that fits the job. Plugins extend syntax non-portably OPML works differently: Universal outline exchange between outliners If any of that sounds like your task, run the conversion — it takes seconds and nothing leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this DokuWiki to OPML 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 DokuWiki to OPML?
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.
Will the layout of my DokuWiki file be preserved exactly?
This converter renders your DokuWiki content into OPML with pages, proportions and images kept as close to the original as the target format allows. Use the preview before downloading to confirm it looks the way you expect.
Can I edit the OPML result afterwards?
That depends on the target: OPML is designed for what it does, and this converter reproduces its content faithfully rather than inventing editable structure. For heavy re-editing, work from a format built for editing and export the final version here.
