About RTF to TXT conversion
RTF is a cross-platform rich text interchange format introduced by Microsoft in 1987, which marks typography styles with control words. TXT is a general-purpose plain text format without formatting markup. This conversion is required when users need to extract plain text content from RTF.
This conversion uses a self-developed parser to extract plain text content wrapped by RTF control word markup, removes all formatting markup such as bold and paragraph breaks, retains complete text content, does not preserve any original RTF typography information, and outputs a file smaller than the original RTF file.
This conversion is suitable for workflows that require removing RTF formatting to extract pure lines or text content, making the content compatible for opening and viewing with Notepad and simple text editors on any device, or providing unformatted data sources for subsequent batch text processing.

FAQ about RTF → TXT
Does text quality change after conversion?
Text content is retained completely, and no quality change occurs. This conversion only removes RTF format control markup, extracts all recognizable text characters for output, and causes no loss of text content.
Will the original typography styles be preserved?
Original typography styles will not be preserved. TXT does not contain any formatting markup. This conversion extracts only plain text content from RTF, and all formatting information such as bold and paragraph breaks will be removed.
What is the maximum single file size limit?
The maximum single file size processed on this site is 50MB, and only one file can be converted at a time. Files exceeding this limit cannot be submitted for processing, and you need to split the file before converting again.
Will uploaded files be stored?
Files will not be stored. Files are uploaded to the server via HTTPS for conversion. After conversion is completed, the server immediately deletes both the source file and the output file, and does not perform any storage.
