Optimize for AI & RAG

Extra cleanup for LLM ingestion: strip HTML, fix smart quotes, tidy Unicode and spacing.

Add YAML front matter

Prepend a metadata block (title, source, date, word & token counts) for knowledge bases and RAG.

Add table of contents

Build a linked index from the headings. Handy for long documents.

Export RAG chunks (.json)

Split the result into retrieval-ready chunks. Download per file from the result panel.

Most converters quietly upload your documents to a server. This one physically can't.

01Why

A tree of nodes,
laid out plainly.

KDL nests nodes inside braces, which is precise but hard to skim. Converting turns that tree into a nested Markdown bullet list, with each node's arguments and properties kept as an inline code string.

KDLconfig.kdl

package {

name "demo"

version "1.0"

}

// inline comments are stripped

MDconfig.md

# KDL document

- package

- name: `"demo"`

- version: `"1.0"`

02Features

Everything you
actually need.

KDL documents in, a clean Markdown outline out, with no server and no account anywhere.

It never leaves your browser

The .kdl file is read and converted on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.

local
KDLconfig.kdl

# Heading

- point one

3 chunks

AI & RAG ready

Optional cleanup, YAML front matter, a table of contents and RAG chunk export.

Works offline

Once the page has loaded you can switch off your connection and it keeps converting.

- package

- name "demo"

- version "1.0"

Nested nodes

Each node becomes a bullet, and child nodes nest underneath it, so the tree stays intact.

éñü

Unicode safe

Accents, symbols and non-Latin scripts come through intact as UTF-8.

Free, and unlimited

No sign-up, no quotas, no watermarks. Convert one file or a thousand; it all runs the same way, on your own device.

03Fidelity

What survives
the trip.

Honest about what comes through, and what doesn't. These are the same notes the Formats list shows for KDL, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
