+# TensorFlow Lite Converter
+
+The TensorFlow Lite Converter converts TensorFlow graphs into
+TensorFlow Lite graphs. There are additional usages that are also detailed in
+the usage documentation.
+
+
+## Where the converter fits in the TensorFlow landscape
+
+Once an application developer has a trained TensorFlow model, the TensorFlow
+Lite Converter will accept
+that model and generate a TensorFlow Lite
+[FlatBuffer](https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/) file. The converter currently supports
+[SavedModels](https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/saved_model#using_savedmodel_with_estimators),
+frozen graphs (models generated via
+[freeze_graph.py](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/python/tools/freeze_graph.py)),
+and `tf.Keras` model files. The TensorFlow Lite FlatBuffer file can be shipped
+to client devices, generally mobile devices, where the TensorFlow Lite
+interpreter handles them on-device. This flow is represented in the diagram
+below.
