TWiki to AsciiDoc Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Convert AsciiDoc when docs need to move into Word, Markdown pipelines or HTML sites without losing structure. If your files are still in TWiki format, this page is the shortcut: TWiki is the enterprise wiki markup of TWiki/Foswiki — ---+ headings, %VARIABLES% and inline tables — still running in many corporate intranets.
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 TWiki format
TWiki wrote the book on enterprise wikis in the 2000s — the ---+ heading syntax, %VARIABLES% macros and TML tables spread through corporate intranets and spawned the Foswiki fork. A generation of internal documentation lives in this markup, often on servers nobody dares upgrade.
Migrating those intranets is where TWiki conversion earns its keep: Pandoc reads TML headings, lists, tables and wiki links, and re-emits them as Markdown for Confluence-era platforms or as Word/HTML for frozen archives.
+Strengths
- ✓Purpose-built for structured intranet knowledge
- ✓Macro variables enable templated pages
- ✓Huge installed base in enterprises
!Limitations
- −Enterprise decline after the Foswiki split
- −Variables and plugins rarely survive conversion
- −Legacy tooling only
About the AsciiDoc 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)

There is a concrete reason this conversion exists: Enterprise decline after the Foswiki split AsciiDoc sidesteps that — Book-grade structure: sections, callouts, admonitions, xrefs If that is your situation, the tool above settles it in seconds, entirely on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this TWiki to AsciiDoc 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 TWiki to AsciiDoc?
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 TWiki file be preserved exactly?
This converter renders your TWiki content into AsciiDoc 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 AsciiDoc result afterwards?
That depends on the target: AsciiDoc 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.
