How do I convert an RTF file to TXT using this converter?

Upload your RTF file or paste its content, then click 'Convert'. The tool extracts the underlying text and returns a plain .txt file that you can download. No software installation is required, and the process runs in seconds.

Why should I convert RTF to TXT instead of keeping the RTF format?

Converting RTF to TXT removes all formatting codes, resulting in a smaller file size and a plain-text file that opens in any text editor, from Notepad to terminal-based tools. It's ideal for posting source code, inserting text into web forms, or archiving data without layout dependencies.

What happens to formatting, images, and font metadata during RTF to TXT conversion?

The conversion discards all rich text attributes (bold, italic, underline, colors, font families, and page layout). Embedded images, hyperlinks, tables, and headers/footers are not carried into the TXT file. The output contains only the readable character stream, usually encoded in UTF-8 to preserve special characters, so all visual formatting and media are permanently lost.
