Your files stay on your Mac.
Converting LaTeX to Texinfo rewrites your .tex document source into .texi files that GNU documentation toolchains can process. Texinfo output can generate both printable manuals and browsable Info pages from a single source file. Every file stays on your Mac — nothing is uploaded.
Drag one .tex file or an entire folder of LaTeX source files onto Convertessa. Metadata is stripped from the output files during conversion.
Choose Texinfo (.texi) from the output format list. Convertessa converts each file to standard Texinfo markup without altering your content structure.
Click Convert. Convertessa processes every file locally and writes .texi files alongside your originals — or to a folder you pick.
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.
Convertessa converts the document structure and standard LaTeX markup to Texinfo. Custom macro definitions in your .tex files are passed through as-is; the output .texi file will reflect whatever the converter can resolve from standard LaTeX.
Yes. Point Convertessa at a folder and it converts every .tex file inside to .texi in one pass — no need to queue files one by one. Use convertessa docs/ --to texi from the command line for the same result.
No. Convertessa writes new .texi output files and leaves your original .tex source untouched.
