Extract text from Kotlin source files (KT)
To convert KT Kotlin files to another format, you need IntelliJ IDEA or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Source Code" file type, you need software like IntelliJ IDEA or a similar tool.
The .KT file extension primarily identifies a source code file written in Kotlin, a modern, cross-platform, statically typed programming language created by JetBrains. These files contain plain text code and are the standard format for modern Android application development and multiplatform projects. A small percentage of .KT files function as Kerberos Key Table files (keytabs) which store encrypted authentication keys for network security.
Most .KT files are edited and managed using professional IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) like IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio. Because these files are raw source code, they are inherently useless to non-developers. They require the Kotlin compiler to translate the text into executable machine code or Java Virtual Machine (JVM) bytecode (CLASS or JAR files).
Opening a .KT file outside of a dedicated IDE can be frustrating. Standard text editors often lack syntax highlighting, making the code dense and difficult to read. Sharing raw .KT files for documentation, academic submission, or non-technical review often results in formatting errors or unopenable attachments on mobile devices.
To share code safely with non-developers or for archiving purposes, convert the .KT file to PDF or HTML. This locks in the formatting and makes the text readable on any device. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted KTS, PDF, XML, TXT, ZIP, JPG, SAV, AAR, ASEC, GRADLE, MT, KM and JAVA files.
If you want to convert KT file to MT, KM, JAVA, BBL, EV, JS, TS, PY, CPP, C, CS or PHP, you can use IntelliJ IDEA or similar software from the "Kotlin Source Code" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS, TS or RS files to KT, try IntelliJ IDEA or another comparable tool in the "Kotlin Source Code" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our KT converter.
