Your files stay on your Mac.
Convertessa reads your .docx files and writes Textile markup — headings, bold, italics, lists, and hyperlinks all translated to their Textile equivalents. The conversion runs entirely on your Mac; no file is ever uploaded anywhere. Drop a whole folder and convert every Word document in one pass.
Drag one .docx file or an entire folder onto Convertessa. Every Word document in the folder is queued automatically.
Pick Textile from the output format list. Convertessa will write a .textile file for each document you dropped.
Click Convert. Your Textile files appear next to the originals — no upload, no account, everything stays on 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.
Headings (h1–h6), bold, italic, inline code, unordered and ordered lists, and hyperlinks are mapped to their Textile equivalents. Formatting with no Textile counterpart is dropped cleanly rather than left as stray markup.
Yes. Any document metadata embedded in the .docx — author name, revision history, and custom properties — is not written into the Textile output.
Yes. Pass the parent folder path and Convertessa walks it recursively, converting every .docx it finds and writing the corresponding .textile files alongside the originals.
