How do I convert RTF to HTML step by step?

Upload your RTF file, choose HTML as the output format, and click convert. Our tool will parse the RTF structure and generate a clean HTML document. You can then download the resulting .html file. For best results, ensure your RTF contains standard formatting like bold, italic, paragraphs, and tables, as these will be mapped to HTML tags.

Why should I convert RTF to HTML instead of keeping RTF?

HTML is the lingua franca for web content, while RTF is a word-processor exchange format. Converting RTF to HTML makes your document visible in every browser and mobile device without requiring Microsoft Word or similar software. HTML files are smaller, can be indexed by search engines, and can be easily integrated into websites or email templates.

How does your RTF to HTML converter handle formatting and embedded objects?

The converter maps RTF formatting commands such as \b (bold), \i (italic), and \ul (underline) to appropriate HTML tags like , , and . Fonts, colors, and sizes are translated into inline CSS. Tables become HTML table structures, and images are extracted and saved as separate files or embedded as base64. However, advanced RTF features like change tracking, footnotes, and mail merge fields may not be fully preserved because they have no direct HTML equivalent.
