Convert XLIFF to Markdown.
Drop a .xlf or .xliff file and get a clean Markdown table of your translation units in seconds. It runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.

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.
Built for tools,
not for reading.
An XLIFF file wraps every string in nested XML tags meant for translation tools. Converting lays each unit out as a plain Markdown table you can actually read.
<trans-unit id="greeting">
<source>Hello</source>
<target>Bonjour</target>
</trans-unit>
# Translation (XLIFF)
- **Units:** 1
| ID | Source | Target |
| --- | --- | --- |
| greeting | Hello | Bonjour |
Everything you
actually need.
XLIFF in, a readable Markdown table out, with no server and no account anywhere.
It never leaves your browser
The .xlf is read and parsed on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.
# 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.
| Source | Target |
| Hello | Bonjour |
Units become a table
Every translation unit becomes one row, with its id, source text and target text.
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.
What makes it
into the table.
Honest about what comes through, and what doesn't. These are the same notes the Formats list shows for XLIFF, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
