About RTF and TXT

RTF control words are stripped; only the text content survives.

Plain text has no layout, so output is a single flowing document.

RTF files are read by the convertexa engine that ships with this page, so the conversion is identical whether you use this tool or the general converter. The output is produced with the same codec settings for every visitor, which means the same input always produces the same result.

Limitations

  • Only the text content is preserved; tables, images and formatting are dropped.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a RTF file to TXT?

Add your RTF file to the box above. convertexa detects the format from the file content, applies the RTF to TXT conversion and gives you the result to download. The whole operation runs inside your browser.

Are my RTF files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in a sandboxed worker on your own device. Your file never leaves the browser, and nothing is stored on a server.

Is the RTF to TXT conversion lossless?

No. TXT is a re-encoded format, so some data is discarded to reach the target format. RTF control words are stripped; only the text content survives.

Is there a size limit?

For reliable results keep the input under 25 MB. Very large files run out of memory in the browser rather than failing quietly.

Which browsers are supported?

Any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on a desktop. The conversion engines need WebAssembly and Web Workers, both of which are standard since 2018.
