Your files stay on your Mac.
Convertessa translates AsciiDoc markup into Typst source files, mapping headings, lists, code blocks, tables, and inline formatting to their Typst equivalents. Document structure transfers intact so you can compile the output straight away with the Typst toolchain. Every file stays on your Mac — nothing is uploaded.
Drag one .adoc file or an entire folder onto Convertessa. Batch conversion processes every AsciiDoc file in the folder in a single pass, writing a .typ file for each one.
Choose Typst from the output format list. Convertessa targets the .typ format and will write files ready to open in the Typst CLI or the Typst web app.
Click Convert. Convertessa writes .typ source files alongside your originals. Open them directly in your Typst workflow to compile or edit further.
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.
Yes. AsciiDoc section titles at every depth map to the corresponding Typst = Heading level, keeping your document hierarchy intact in the output.
Convertessa converts each .adoc file as a standalone document. include:: directives reference external files that are not resolved before conversion. To handle them, pre-process your source with the asciidoctor CLI to produce a single merged file first, then convert that file.
Yes. Convertessa strips embedded AsciiDoc document metadata — author lines, revision lines, and attribute entries — from the .typ output. All body content, headings, and block elements are preserved.
