Convert DokuWiki to GitHub Flavored Markdown

Turn DokuWiki, the markup used by the DokuWiki wiki engine, into GitHub Flavored Markdown, GitHub's Markdown dialect with tables, task lists, and strikethrough. FileChanger runs the document conversion in one call, no local tooling to install.

In the browser

Upload a file and download the result, no pipeline required. Open the converter.

One API call

POST the file with from=dokuwiki and to=gfm, get the converted bytes back. Jump to the code.

From an agent

FileChanger ships an MCP server, so agents can run this conversion themselves. See the docs for setup.

The same call from any language: POST the file to /api/convert, the response body is the converted file.

  -F "file=@input.dokuwiki" \
  -F "from=dokuwiki" \
