OPML ADOC
100% private — files never leave your device

Convert ADOC exactly like AsciiDoc: into Word, Markdown or HTML. If your files are still in OPML format, this page is the shortcut: OPML is the outline-exchange XML: nested <outline> elements that carry subscription lists (podcast apps, RSS readers) and mind-map exports from Workflowy, Dynalist and OmniOutliner.

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.

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

About the ADOC format

AsciiDoc is what happens when lightweight markup grows up. Where Markdown stops at bold and lists, AsciiDoc carries title pages, multi-level sections, callouts, admonitions, xrefs and real table syntax — enough to author entire technical books without leaving plain text. The Git and Linux-kernel documentation ecosystems standardized on it, rendered through Asciidoctor.

The format's weakness is tooling gravity: AsciiDoc converters outside the Asciidoctor/Ruby world are scarce, which is exactly where Pandoc fills the gap. Converting to Word hands manuscripts to editors who live in Office; converting to Markdown feeds modern docs sites. The section structure and tables survive the trip.

+Strengths

  • ✓Book-grade structure: sections, callouts, admonitions, xrefs
  • ✓Powering Git and Linux kernel docs — battle-tested at scale
  • ✓Stays readable as plain text

!Limitations

  • −Heavier syntax than Markdown for casual notes
  • −Converter ecosystem concentrated in Asciidoctor tooling
  • −Multiple dialects (legacy asciidoc vs asciidoctor)

Why convert OPML to ADOC?

Think of it as moving your file to the container that fits the job. Hierarchies only — no rich text per node ADOC works differently: Book-grade structure: sections, callouts, admonitions, xrefs If any of that sounds like your task, run the conversion — it takes seconds and nothing leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

Is this OPML to ADOC 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 OPML to ADOC?

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.

Can I edit the ADOC result afterwards?

That depends on the target: ADOC 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.

Does the conversion work offline?

Yes. Once the page has loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely inside your browser — you can even disconnect and keep converting. No file ever touches a server.
