How do I convert RTF to TXT?

Drop your RTF file onto the converter above, make sure TXT is selected, and click Convert. When it's done, download the TXT file — it usually takes a few seconds.

Is it safe to convert RTF to TXT here?

Yes. RTF to TXT conversion happens entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your file is never uploaded to any server.

Is the RTF to TXT converter free?

Yes — free with no watermark. Signed-out visitors can convert 25 files a day, and a free account raises that to 250.

Will converting RTF to TXT reduce quality?

No — TXT preserves the content of your RTF file as faithfully as the format allows.

Can I convert multiple RTF files at once?

Yes. Add up to 5 files at a time without an account, 10 with a free account and up to 500 on paid plans, then download them individually or as a single ZIP.

Can I convert TXT back to RTF?

Yes — use our TXT to RTF converter. Note that converting back and forth between formats can't recover detail lost to lossy compression.
