Your files stay on your Mac.
Convertessa parses your .adoc files and emits .org files with headings, lists, code blocks, and inline formatting translated to Org Mode conventions. Section hierarchy is preserved—AsciiDoc levels map directly to Org heading stars. Everything runs on your Mac; no file is ever uploaded.
Drag one or more .adoc files onto Convertessa, or point it at a folder to convert an entire documentation tree in one pass.
Choose Org Mode from the output format list. Convertessa will translate AsciiDoc headings, ordered and unordered lists, source blocks, links, and inline markup into their Org Mode equivalents.
Click Convert. Each .adoc file becomes a .org file with its structure intact. The converted files land in the folder you choose and never leave your Mac.
Images, audio, video, documents, archives and eBooks — all converted natively, right on your Mac.
Pick a format you have — see everything Convertessa can turn it into.
Convert hundreds of files at once with per-type group defaults and individual overrides.
First-class support for HEIC, AVIF and WebP — encode and decode, both ways. Read JPEG XL and a dozen more modern formats too.
Drop files anywhere on the window. Native, instant, and exactly what you’d expect on a Mac.
Dial in compression, resolution and bitrate. Keep originals pristine or shrink for sharing.
Never overwrite a file by accident. Convertessa appends safe suffixes automatically.
Every job is logged locally. Re-run a previous conversion or revisit recent outputs in a click.
Bundle your converted files straight into a single ZIP, TAR or 7z — packaged and ready to share the moment a job finishes.
Right-click any file in Finder and choose Convert. A Quick Action handles it on the spot — no need to open the app first.
Shrink Convertessa to a tidy mini window that tucks into a corner — just a drop zone and a format picker for quick, one-off conversions.
No cloud. No account. No upload. Every conversion happens entirely on-device, using the power already in your Mac. What you convert is nobody’s business but yours.
Script conversions, wire them into your build, or batch a folder from the terminal. The same engine, no GUI required.

New formats, new features, and fixes — every release, on the record.
AsciiDoc section levels (= Level 1, == Level 2, and so on) map to Org Mode heading stars (* for level 1, ** for level 2, etc.), preserving the full document hierarchy.
Yes. AsciiDoc [source] blocks become Org Mode #+BEGIN_SRC … #+END_SRC blocks. When a language tag is present in the AsciiDoc block, it is carried over to the Org block.
Yes. Drag a folder onto Convertessa or run convertessa ./docs/ --to org in the terminal. Every .adoc file in the folder is converted in a single batch.
