TikiWiki to EPUB Converter
FileFlip converts TikiWiki to EPUB entirely inside your browser, using Pandoc compiled to WebAssembly. The file is never uploaded to a server: it is read off your disk, converted on your own machine, and saved back by the browser. That means no file-size limit, no queue and no account.
How do I convert a TikiWiki file to EPUB?#
- Drop your TikiWiki file onto the converter at the top of this page, or click it to pick one from your computer. You can add as many as you like.
- Leave the target set to EPUB and the conversion starts on its own. FileFlip downloads 65.8 MB of WebAssembly the first time and nothing after that, then runs Pandoc on your own machine.
- Save the EPUB file. Your browser writes it straight to your downloads folder, because there was never a server holding it.
Does converting TikiWiki to EPUB lose quality?#
Not in the sense of pixels or samples. Converting TikiWiki to EPUB rebuilds the file in EPUB's own model rather than re-encoding it, so everything EPUB can represent comes through exactly and anything it cannot has to be dropped. Expect the words to come through exactly and the page breaks to move.
Is it safe to convert TikiWiki files online?#
Yes, because nothing is uploaded. FileFlip converts TikiWiki 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 TikiWiki to EPUB actually does to the file#
Converting TikiWiki to EPUB runs on Pandoc, downloads 65.8 MB of WebAssembly the first time and nothing after that, rebuilds the file in the target's own model, keeps selectable text and page layout.

| Conversion path | One step: TikiWiki → EPUB |

| You get back | One file |
| Where it runs | In a background worker, so the page stays responsive |
What survives the conversion

| Page layout | Kept | Carried through into the converted file. |
What is a TikiWiki file?#
A TikiWiki file holds a page written in the wiki markup of Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware, an open-source wiki and content-management platform that uses exclamation marks for headings and doubled punctuation for most inline formatting.
Keep a page as Tiki markup while it's edited and served from a Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware installation.
Convert Tiki markup to Markdown or HTML when its content needs to move to a platform that isn't Tiki.
What is an EPUB file?#
An EPUB file is a ZIP archive of XHTML, CSS and image files plus a manifest, packaging a book as reflowable web content that an e-reader lays out to fit its own screen.
Use EPUB for any ebook meant to reflow to the reader's screen and open on Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play Books or Adobe Digital Editions.
Convert away from EPUB when a Kindle needs the file in KFX or AZW3, or when the fixed page layout of a PDF matters more than reflow.
TikiWiki to EPUB questions people ask#
What is a .tikiwiki file?
A .tikiwiki file holds a page's worth of Tiki markup, the wiki syntax used by Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware. Tiki stores pages in a database rather than as loose files, so this extension appears when a page has been exported or converted rather than pulled straight from a Tiki install.
Is Tiki Wiki still maintained?
Yes. Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware is under active development by a community of contributors and translators, and the project ships a new major version roughly every eight months.
How is Tiki markup different from MediaWiki markup?
Tiki markup uses exclamation marks for headings and doubled punctuation, __bold__, ''italic'', for most formatting, where MediaWiki uses equals signs for headings and asterisks or apostrophes instead. The two syntaxes aren't interchangeable; a page written for one won't render correctly in the other.
What is an EPUB file?
An EPUB file is an ebook packaged as a ZIP archive of XHTML pages, CSS and images, which is why the text reflows to fit whatever device opens it rather than staying pinned to a fixed page. It is the open ebook standard, maintained by the W3C, and every major reading app supports it except Kindle.
