Linux Path Converter
Switch separators and the common drive-letter form in a bounded path string, entirely in your browser.
Text only: no files are read or changed. Review URI, UNC, escaping, and mount-point semantics yourself.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Paste one path string up to 10,000 characters.
- Choose Windows to Linux or Linux to Windows.
- Review and copy the text result before using it in a shell or application.
Text conversion only
The converter changes path spelling only. It does not test whether a path exists, resolve symlinks, normalize dot segments, access mounted drives, or run shell commands.
Explicit syntax boundaries
Windows drive paths become /mnt/<drive>/... in Linux text. A leading UNC share becomes /mnt/unc/<server>/<share>/...; converting back uses \\server\share\... . URI schemes, URL authority, percent escapes, and already escaped backslashes are preserved as text rather than decoded.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Does this access my files?
No. It only transforms the pasted string in your browser.
Will it make a path valid on my machine?
No. Mount points, permissions, shell quoting, and application-specific rules still need checking on the target system.
Are URLs converted?
No special URL parsing is performed. Treat URI schemes and URL syntax as text and review them manually.
