TWiki to Markdown Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
TWiki is the enterprise wiki markup of TWiki/Foswiki — ---+ headings, %VARIABLES% and inline tables — still running in many corporate intranets. Convert .markdown files exactly like .md — into HTML, Word, EPUB or any rich format.
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 Markdown format
Markdown (John Gruber, 2004) is plain text that renders into rich documents: `#` headings, `*` emphasis, lists, links, code fences. You can write it in any editor, read it as-is, diff it in git, and twenty years later it still opens — which is why GitHub, Stack Overflow, Notion, Obsidian and every static-site generator settled on it for prose.
Its one honest weakness is dialect fragmentation: tables, footnotes and task lists all started as extensions (GFM, MultiMarkdown, Pandoc), so a sophisticated document can render differently across tools. Core Markdown — headings, lists, links, code — is bulletproof everywhere.
+ Strengths
- ✓Future-proof plain text, renders anywhere
- ✓Perfect for version control and documentation
- ✓Low-friction: readable even unrendered
! Limitations
- −Extension dialects fragment advanced features
- −Complex layout and precise design are out of scope

Frequently asked questions
Is this TWiki to Markdown 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 Markdown?
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.
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.
Can I edit the Markdown result afterwards?
That depends on the target: Markdown 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.
