Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RTF file and why convert it to text?
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a document format that includes formatting information like fonts, colors, and styles. Converting to plain text removes all formatting and extracts only the readable content, making it compatible with simple text editors and easier to process programmatically.
Is there a file size limit for RTF conversion?
Our converter can handle RTF files up to 50MB in size. For larger files, consider breaking them into smaller segments. Most typical RTF documents are well within this limit and will convert quickly.
Are my uploaded files stored on your servers?
No, all file processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your RTF files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security. No data is transmitted to external servers.
What happens to images and tables in RTF files?
When converting RTF to plain text, images are removed and tables are converted to tab-separated or space-separated text format. The focus is on extracting readable text content while maintaining basic structure where possible.
Can I batch convert multiple RTF files at once?
Currently, the tool processes one RTF file at a time to ensure optimal performance and accuracy. For multiple files, simply repeat the process for each file. Each conversion is typically completed within seconds.
What output formats are supported besides plain text?
You can choose between plain text (removes all formatting), formatted text (preserves line breaks and paragraphs), or markdown format (converts basic formatting to markdown syntax). Each option serves different use cases and compatibility needs.
