Turn an indented file/folder list into a clean ASCII tree perfect for READMEs, documentation, and tech blogs. Paste indented text (2- or 4-space, or tabs), get a tree with proper box-drawing characters (├──, └──, │). Or write a tree and convert it back to a path list.
The ASCII Directory Tree Generator provides a fast, web-based method for converting indented text lists into clean folder structure diagrams. It eliminates manual formatting work when preparing directory trees for README files, technical documentation, and blog posts. With generous rate limits and instant browser-based execution, it simplifies a tedious documentation task without requiring local software installations.
Good to know: Very large directory structures with hundreds of nested files may be cumbersome to paste and format as raw indented text.
Quickly convert indented text lists into professional ASCII directory structures for your documentation.
