DokuWiki Converter
FileFlip converts DokuWiki files into 61 other formats entirely inside your browser, using Pandoc, MuPDF and ImageMagick compiled to WebAssembly. The DokuWiki file is never uploaded to a server: it is read off your disk, converted on your own machine, and saved back by the browser. There is no file-size limit and no account to create.
How do I convert a DokuWiki file?#
- Drop your DokuWiki file onto the converter at the top of this page, or click it to pick one from your computer.
- Choose the format you want out of it. FileFlip downloads the engine that conversion needs, once, and your browser caches it.
- Conversion starts the moment you pick the format, and the result is yours to download. The work happens in this tab, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is queued.
Is it safe to convert DokuWiki files online?#
Yes, because nothing is uploaded. FileFlip converts DokuWiki files inside the browser tab you already have open, using WebAssembly builds of the same engines a desktop converter would install. Your file is read from your own disk into the page's memory, and no request carrying it is ever made.
You do not have to take that on trust. Open your browser's network panel, run a conversion, and you will see the engine come down and your file go nowhere. There is no upload, no server-side copy, no retention window, and no account tied to what you converted.
How FileFlip works lists every engine, its version and its download size, and shows how to check for yourself that nothing leaves your machine.

What is a DokuWiki file?#
A DOKUWIKI file holds a page written in DokuWiki syntax, the plain-text markup that DokuWiki itself stores as a .txt file on disk rather than in a database.
Keep pages in DokuWiki syntax while the wiki is actually running DokuWiki, since that's the renderer every construct is written for.
Convert DokuWiki syntax to another format when retiring the wiki or moving its content onto a different platform.
The DokuWiki file format reference covers the specification, the programs that open one, and what each conversion keeps or drops.
DokuWiki questions people ask#
What program opens a DokuWiki file?
A DokuWiki page is a plain-text file, so any text editor opens it, but the markup only renders as a formatted page inside a running DokuWiki install. Viewing it as intended means either running DokuWiki or converting the file to a format like HTML or Markdown first.
Why does DokuWiki store pages as text files instead of a database?
DokuWiki was built to skip a database entirely, storing every page as a plain-text file in this syntax on the server's filesystem. That makes a DokuWiki install easy to back up with a plain file copy and easy to read even without the software running.
Can I convert a DokuWiki page to Word or PDF?
Yes, DokuWiki syntax converts to formats like DOCX or PDF by first turning the markup into a structured document, which renders headings, links, and tables. Syntax that comes from a specific DokuWiki plugin may not convert, since only DokuWiki itself with that plugin installed knows how to render it.
