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

Tags, not
guesswork.

An .abw file is open XML where every heading, list and table is a labelled tag. The converter reads those tags directly and rebuilds them as matching Markdown, structure intact.

02Features

The whole
document.

Headings, lists, tables and inline styling all come across, with no server and no account anywhere.

It never leaves your browser

Your .abw is parsed on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.

Headings & lists

Heading levels become Markdown headings; ordered and bullet lists keep their nesting.

| Name | Qty |

| --- | --- |

| Bolt | 12 |

Tables rebuilt

The cell grid is reassembled into a clean Markdown pipe table, row by row.

[docs](/guide)

Bold, italic, links

Inline styling and hyperlinks carry over as Markdown emphasis and link syntax.

Free, and unlimited

No sign-up, no quotas, no watermarks. Convert one file or a whole folder; 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 AbiWord, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
