Accepts .rtf
How it works
Click the dropzone above or drag a RTF from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.
The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.
Get your HTML the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.
Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.
Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.
No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.
Why convert RTF → HTML
If you want RTF content on a web page or in an email, HTML is the target, not RTF (browsers and mail clients do not render .rtf). This pulls the text into clean paragraph markup you can drop into a CMS or template.
You are migrating old .rtf knowledge-base articles into a web CMS. Convert each to HTML here, paste the body into the editor, done, no manual reformatting.
I lost fonts and colors.
This extracts structure and text, not visual styling. Font and color tables are intentionally dropped because inline RTF styling rarely maps cleanly to a site's own CSS. Style it with the destination's stylesheet.
Everything is one big paragraph.
The source RTF may use line breaks instead of real paragraph breaks (\par). We split on paragraph breaks; if the original has none, there is no structure to recover. Check the source in an RTF editor.
Formats involved
RTF is a file format we support converting. Detailed format information is being added, for now, drop your file in the converter above and you'll get the conversion you came for.
How to open
Most operating systems open this format with a default application; if not, search for a free reader/viewer for the format.
HTML is the markup language of the web, every browser displays HTML documents natively. Files contain text plus tags (<h1>, <p>, <a>, etc.) describing structure and links. Modern HTML5 also supports embedded media (audio/video) and complex semantic markup.
How to open
Every web browser. Any text editor for source. Modern editors (VS Code) syntax-highlight HTML.

FAQ
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.
Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.
Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.
File interchange. Web pages; structured document interchange; readable archives. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, HTML works in places where RTF doesn't, or vice versa.
Most operating systems open this format with a default application; if not, search for a free reader/viewer for the format.
Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.
Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
