About KTS files

A .KTS file is a text-based script written in the Kotlin programming language. Most often, developers use these files as build scripts for the Gradle build automation tool, specifically utilizing the Kotlin DSL (Domain Specific Language) in files typically named build.gradle.kts. You can open and edit these files using specialized Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio. The primary disadvantage of the .KTS format is its strict dependency on a complex development environment. It is not a standalone executable and will fail to run if the required Kotlin compiler or Gradle dependencies are missing. Furthermore, the specialized syntax can be dense and entirely unreadable for non-programmers. When users need to share the script's contents with non-technical stakeholders or archive the code for documentation, converting the .KTS file to TXT, MD (Markdown), or PDF is highly recommended. Standard online media converters fail to process these files because they are specialized development scripts rather than standard documents. However, you can easily overcome this. Just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, view the raw source code text, and convert it when possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your KTS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The KTS Converter Story

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.
