Convert ORG to CFG

Fast, free, and secure ORG to CFG conversion. No registration required.

Xonvert's browser-based org to cfg tool is used by thousands of people daily. Try it — no account required. Org Mode Document files serve best in Emacs users for notes, project planning, literate programming and publishing scenarios. Configuration File is better suited for application settings, game configuration and system preferences. Xonvert has processed millions of document conversions, and Org Mode Document to Configuration File is consistently one of the most reliable format pairs. Mobile users can convert files directly from their camera roll or file manager — the interface adapts to any screen size.

Quality & Fidelity

Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. Org Mode Document preserves the full range. Configuration File maintains the complete dynamic range. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the Configuration File format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in Configuration File are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality Org Mode Document input produces an excellent Configuration File output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly.

Extracting structured data from Org Mode Document documents to Configuration File data format involves parsing the document content and organizing it into a structured representation. Tabular data, lists, and key-value pairs are identified and converted. This is useful for data migration, analysis, and programmatic processing of document content.

The ORG to CFG conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Supports TODO items, clocking, agendas and code blocks
