Extract text from Kotlin scripts (KTS)
To convert KTS scripts to another format, you need IntelliJ IDEA or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Build Configuration" file type, you need software like IntelliJ IDEA or a similar tool.
A .KTS file is a Kotlin Script, a text-based file containing source code written in the Kotlin programming language. By far the most common application of this format is within the Gradle build system (specifically the Kotlin DSL), where it replaces the traditional Groovy-based GRADLE files for configuring project builds. Unlike standard KT files which are compiled into classes and libraries, .KTS files are designed to be executed as scripts.
While .KTS files offer the power of static typing and better IDE support in IntelliJ IDEA, they introduce significant friction for casual users or documentation teams. You cannot simply "run" a .KTS file without the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the Kotlin compiler installed. Furthermore, complex build logic inside a build.gradle.kts file can be difficult to review outside of a specialized IDE due to a lack of syntax highlighting in standard text editors. Users often need to convert these scripts to PDF or HTML to preserve code coloring and formatting for documentation, code reviews, or archiving. In some legacy migration scenarios, developers also look to translate logic back to GRADLE (Groovy) or reference JAVA equivalents.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KTS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted KT, GRADLE, XML, MPH, KM and GROOVY files.
If you want to convert KTS file to MPH, KM, GROOVY, JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP or RB, you can use IntelliJ IDEA or similar software from the "Gradle Build Script" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to KTS, try IntelliJ IDEA or another comparable tool in the "Gradle Build Script" 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 KTS converter.
