RTF to MD Conversion FAQ
What does the RTF to MD converter do?
+
It converts a RTF document into MD. Text, paragraph styles, tables, and embedded images are preserved as closely as the target format allows.
Will the formatting of my RTF survive the conversion to MD?
+
Headings, paragraph styles, tables, and embedded images carry across. Advanced layout (text boxes, complex columns, macros) may simplify when MD does not support the feature one-for-one.
Is the RTF to MD conversion reversible?
+
You can convert the MD back to RTF 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 RTF to MD?
+
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.
Is there a file-size limit when converting RTF to MD?
+
Anonymous uploads are capped at a generous default; signed-in free accounts get a higher cap, and Pro accounts have no per-file limit. Browser memory is usually the practical constraint long before our server-side limits kick in.
Can I batch-convert several RTF files to MD at once?
+
Yes. Drop or pick multiple RTF files in one upload — the converter processes them in parallel and returns a ZIP of the MD results. There is no need to repeat the upload step per file.
What happens to my RTF files after the conversion?
+
Uploaded files and MD outputs are auto-deleted after a short retention window. We do not inspect, share, or train on user files. Direct download links are time-limited and tied to your session.
Can I edit the MD after converting from RTF?
+
Yes — MD opens in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and most office suites. Text, formatting, and tables are editable.
Do I need to install software to convert RTF to MD?
+
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 RTF to MD?
+
No. RTF to MD conversion is free and works without an account. Signing in unlocks higher file-size caps, batch history, and API access.
Is there an API for RTF to MD conversion?
+
Yes. Every conversion this site offers is also exposed via a JSON API — see /api/ for endpoints, authentication, and rate limits. RTF to MD is one of the supported pairs.
What if my RTF fails to convert to MD?
+
Failures are usually caused by corrupted source files or unsupported RTF 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.
