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

Built for tools,
hard to read.

An LDIF dump packs directory entries into terse key-value lines and wrapped fields. Converting turns each entry into a titled, scannable block of Markdown.

LDIFdirectory.ldif

dn: cn=Ada,dc=example

cn: Ada

mail: [email protected]

# a skipped comment

MDdirectory.md

## cn=Ada,dc=example

- cn: Ada

- mail: [email protected]

The comment line is left out.

02Features

Everything you
actually need.

Directory records in, clean Markdown out, with no server and no account anywhere.

It never leaves your browser

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

# Heading

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.

- cn: Ada

Entry per heading

Each entry becomes a heading from its dn, with its attributes listed as bullets below.

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 LDIF, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
