Convert RTF to TXT

Convert RTF to TXT when a document's content is needed without its formatting. The finished TXT file is easy to read, search, or pass to a system that works with plain text.

What happens when you convert RTF to TXT

RTF holds text together with formatting such as fonts, paragraphs, lists, and other document elements. TXT keeps text content and does not reproduce the look of the source page.

After you convert RTF to TXT, you get a plain text file. Keep the source document when tables, images, indentation, or links matter, because TXT does not show those elements as they appear in RTF.

• RTF content is written as plain text.
• Document formatting is not reproduced in TXT.
• The result opens in a text editor.

How to convert RTF to TXT

1. Upload your RTF file.
2. Select TXT as the result format.
3. Start the conversion.
4. Download the text file.

Jobs for a plain text file

Other options for RTF files

• To continue editing a document, choose the RTF to Word (DOCX) converter.
• When the document has to open in a browser, use the RTF to HTML converter.
• If the text is already in HTML, use the HTML to TXT converter.

Can I open the TXT in a regular editor?
