Fast, secure TYPST to OPML conversion. No registration required.
Starting point: TYPST is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline. Natural next step, a OPML. Converting TYPST to OPML keeps the document's content but changes how it is distributed. Typst Document may be the right editing format; OPML Outline may be the right delivery format (or vice-versa). KaijuConverter renders the document through a LibreOffice + pandoc pipeline so headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, images and hyperlinks survive the round-trip intact. One more beat. TYPST is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline. Receiving format: OPML is a document format oriented around a particular office suite or publishing pipeline.
Typst Document
Source formatTypst is a modern typesetting system designed as a more accessible alternative to LaTeX. It compiles documents to PDF with fast incremental compilation, combining a markup syntax with a scripting language for templates and programmatic content.
OPML Outline
Target formatOPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is an XML format for structured outlines and lists. It is most widely used for exchanging RSS feed subscription lists between podcast apps and feed readers, and for hierarchical note-taking.
Why convert TYPST to OPML
TYPST and OPML both describe paginated text, but they target different parts of the document life cycle. TYPST is usually editable; OPML is usually final. Converting is about moving from editing to distribution (or the other way round) without losing headings, styles, tables or embedded images along the way.
HOW TO CONVERT
TYPST → OPML
Upload your TYPST
Drop the document onto the uploader. We transfer over HTTPS and keep the file in an isolated processing container.
Render with LibreOffice
LibreOffice opens the TYPST headlessly and writes it as OPML with styles, tables and images mapped across.
Download the OPML
The OPML is ready to download; typography, pagination and embedded assets match what you saw in the source.
Common Use Cases
Share across platforms
Send OPML files to anyone without worrying about whether they have the right software for TYPST.
Embed in documents
Drop OPML output into Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint, Notion or a website without conversion warnings.
Optimize size
OPML often produces smaller files than TYPST for web, email and storage.
Archive & future-proof
Store in a widely-supported format that will still open on future operating systems without legacy plugins.
TYPST vs OPML — Strengths and limitations
What each format does best, and where it falls short.
TYPST Strengths
- Compiles 100× faster than LaTeX on equivalent documents.
- Clean, readable syntax — Markdown-like simplicity with real language features.
- Built-in collaborative web editor.
- Open source under Apache 2.0.
- Modern type system — every function call type-checked.
Limitations
- Young ecosystem — package count is a tiny fraction of LaTeX CTAN.
- Academic journal submission pipelines still default to LaTeX.
- Advanced mathematical typography still trails LaTeX in some edge cases.
OPML Strengths
- Standard RSS subscription interchange format.
- Simple XML — easy to parse and generate.
- Highly extensible via arbitrary attributes.
- Supported by every major outline and RSS tool.
Limitations
- XML verbosity — larger than a JSON-based equivalent.
- Specification is loose — different tools disagree on edge cases.
- Primary use (RSS reading) has shrunk dramatically since Google Reader.

Quality & Compatibility
LibreOffice handles the heavy lifting and maps the overwhelming majority of TYPST features to their OPML equivalents. Standard system fonts (Arial, Calibri, Times, Helvetica) transfer exactly; corporate or custom fonts are substituted with the closest available match, which can shift line breaks by a character or two. Inline images embed at original resolution.
Tips for Best Results
- Embed fonts in the TYPST before uploading if you use non-system fonts — it guarantees the OPML renders identically on any viewer.
- Check tables, figure captions and page headers after conversion; complex layouts occasionally need a minor nudge in the target application.
- For documents with a table of contents, refresh the TOC field after opening the OPML so page numbers reflect the new pagination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, as long as the fonts are standard (system fonts or common office fonts like Arial, Calibri, Times, Helvetica). Custom corporate fonts survive if they are embedded in the source document; otherwise the conversion substitutes the closest available match, which can shift line breaks by a character or two.
Yes. Inline images are embedded into the OPML at full resolution, editable tables become native OPML tables, and hyperlinks keep their URLs. Complex features unique to TYPST — macros, form fields, track-changes — are mapped where an equivalent exists in OPML and flattened into static content otherwise.
All uploads go over TLS, files are processed in isolated containers and both the source and the output are deleted within two hours. No account is required, file contents are never indexed or used for training, and the paid plan adds a signable data-processing agreement for regulated workflows.
