What is Folder2Text?
Folder2Text is a powerful Windows desktop application designed specifically for developers and AI enthusiasts who work with large language models. Instead of manually copying file contents one by one, Folder2Text analyzes your entire project directory and generates a single, AI-optimized text file containing both the folder tree structure and all file contents. This makes it incredibly easy to provide complete project context to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other LLM in seconds.
