Windows ⇄ WSL Path
Convert absolute Windows drive paths and their default WSL /mnt equivalents.
This tool handles input and primary processing in your browser and is designed not to send the input to QuickKit’s server.

Converted path
How it works
Converts absolute drive paths such as `C:\work` and default WSL `/mnt/c/work` paths. The conversion is lexical only: it matches selected drive-path rules and test vectors from wslpath (`C:\` becomes `/mnt/c/`, both `/mnt/c` and `/mnt/c/` become `C:\`, a trailing separator is kept), but unlike the default wslpath behavior it does not access the filesystem or resolve symlinks, so `/mnt/c/a/link` is always `C:\a\link` even when it is a symlink to somewhere else. The input is used exactly as typed; whitespace is never trimmed; a file or folder name that begins or ends with an ASCII space (U+0020) is flagged, because Windows saves such a name without that space while keeping other whitespace. Control characters (U+0000–U+001F) and the characters `"` `*` `:` `<` `>` `?` `\` `|` inside a file or folder name are rejected in both directions: Windows reserves them in names, and WSL/DrvFs represents them with private-use escaping, which this tool does not model. `C:` or `C:file.txt` without a separator after the colon is drive-relative (the current directory on that drive), not the drive root, so it is reported rather than converted. UNC and `\\?\` paths are not converted because their WSL mount point is configuration-dependent. Relative paths, paths with `.` or `..`, and non-WSL Linux paths are rejected deliberately so the result is unambiguous.
