Markdown to RTF Conversion FAQ
What does the MARKDOWN to RTF converter do?
+
It converts a MARKDOWN document into RTF. Text, paragraph styles, tables, and embedded images are preserved as closely as the target format allows.
Will the formatting of my MARKDOWN survive the conversion to RTF?
+
Headings, paragraph styles, tables, and embedded images carry across. Advanced layout (text boxes, complex columns, macros) may simplify when RTF does not support the feature one-for-one.
Is the MARKDOWN to RTF conversion reversible?
+
You can convert the RTF back to MARKDOWN on this site. If either format involved is lossy, the round-trip is not bit-perfect even though it is visually or audibly close.
What output quality should I expect from MARKDOWN to RTF?
+
Default settings target broadcast / web quality — visually identical to the source for most viewers. For archival use, pick the highest quality option in the converter settings.
Why would I use RTF rather than a modern document format?
+
Because it opens in essentially everything, including software from the early nineties, and because it is plain readable text underneath so it survives systems that mangle binary attachments. The trade is size and features: an RTF is several times larger than the equivalent XML package and cannot carry tracked changes, comments or complex tables.
Is there a file-size limit when converting MARKDOWN to RTF?
+
Free conversions have a size limit per file, set by the type of file, and the page tells you when a file is over it. A paid plan removes that limit, so much larger files can be converted.
Can I batch-convert several MARKDOWN files to RTF at once?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
What happens to my MARKDOWN files after the conversion?
+
Uploaded files are processed on our own conversion servers, nobody looks at them, and they are not shared. The upload and the converted file are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
Do I need to install software to convert MARKDOWN to RTF?
+
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser plus our cloud — no plugin, no install, no admin rights. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.
Do I need an account to convert MARKDOWN to RTF?
+
Yes. One conversion an hour is free, with no account needed, for a file within the free size limit. A paid plan removes the hourly limit and the size limit, and lets you add several files to one job.
Is there an API for MARKDOWN to RTF conversion?
+
Yes. Every conversion this site offers is also exposed via a JSON API — see /api/ for endpoints, authentication, and rate limits. MARKDOWN to RTF is one of the supported pairs.
What if my MARKDOWN fails to convert to RTF?
+
Failures are usually caused by corrupted source files or unsupported MARKDOWN variants. Re-export from the original app and try again; if it still fails, the contact page forwards the file to support so we can diagnose.
