Paste RTF or open an .rtf file from Word or another editor. We turn it into HTML for preview, then build a PDF with the same pipeline as HTML to PDF—locally in your browser.
Convert Rich Text Format to PDF in your browser
RTF is converted to HTML, then to PDF (like HTML to PDF). Embedded images and very complex Microsoft Word features may not convert fully. Script tags are stripped from the HTML used for PDF.
Share formatted text as a fixed document
See how the RTF renders before creating the PDF.
Bold, italic, and simple structure often carry through.
Conversion stays on your device.
Use the browser only—no desktop app required.
RTF files describe text and formatting with control codes. We parse that into HTML, then rasterize and place it into a PDF—similar to our HTML to PDF tool.
Very advanced Word features in RTF may not map cleanly to HTML; keep documents simple for the most reliable results.
RTF is still common for exports and older workflows. PDF is easier to share and print. For native Word files, use Word to PDF.
Convert RTF above. For plain text only, use TXT to PDF. For .docx, use Word to PDF.
