Your files stay on your Mac.
Convertessa reads your .typ source and outputs a .md file with headings, paragraphs, bullet lists, numbered lists, bold, and italic rendered as standard Markdown syntax. Typst-specific layout commands and constructs that have no Markdown equivalent are stripped cleanly. The result is portable Markdown ready for READMEs, wikis, or static-site generators.
Drag one .typ file or an entire folder into Convertessa. Everything runs locally — your files never leave your Mac.
Choose Markdown from the output format list. Convertessa maps each Typst element to its closest Markdown equivalent before writing the output file.
Click Convert and Convertessa saves a .md file alongside each original. Batch mode converts a whole folder of .typ files in one pass.
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, paragraphs, bullet and numbered lists, bold, and italic all map to their Markdown equivalents. Typst-specific constructs with no Markdown counterpart — custom layout functions, raw math blocks, page-layout directives — are omitted from the output.
Yes. Image references are written as standard Markdown image syntax (). The image files themselves are not moved; update the path in the .md file if you relocate the output.
Yes. Drag a folder into Convertessa or run convertessa ./folder --to md in the terminal. Every .typ file in the folder is converted and saved as a .md file in the same location.
