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 the app,
not for reading.

An Apple .strings file is a long list of quoted key equals value pairs meant for iOS and macOS. Converting lines them up as a readable Markdown table you can review at a glance.

STRINGSLocalizable.strings

/* Greeting shown on launch */

"welcome_title" = "Welcome";

"cancel_button" = "Cancel";

# Localized strings (.strings)

- **Entries:** 2

| Key | Value |

| --- | --- |

| welcome_title | Welcome |

| cancel_button | Cancel |

02Features

Every pair,
in one place.

Apple .strings tables in, a clean Markdown table out, with no server and no account anywhere.

It never leaves your browser

Your .strings is read and parsed on your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.

Keys become a table

Each key and its value land in one row, so every translation is easy to scan.

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

Keys and values
come through.

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