What does the TXT to RTF converter do?
+
It converts a TXT document into RTF. Text, paragraph styles, tables, and embedded images are preserved as closely as the target format allows.
Will the formatting of my TXT 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 TXT to RTF conversion reversible?
+
You can convert the RTF back to TXT 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 TXT 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.
Is there a file-size limit when converting TXT to RTF?
+
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 TXT files to RTF at once?
+
Yes. Drop or pick multiple TXT files in one upload — the converter processes them in parallel and returns a ZIP of the RTF results. There is no need to repeat the upload step per file.
What happens to my TXT files after the conversion?
+
Uploaded files and RTF 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 RTF after converting from TXT?
+
Yes — RTF opens in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and most office suites. Text, formatting, and tables are editable.
Do I need to install software to convert TXT 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 TXT to RTF?
+
No. TXT to RTF 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 TXT to RTF conversion?
+
Yes. Every conversion this site offers is also exposed via a JSON API — see /api/ for endpoints, authentication, and rate limits. TXT to RTF is one of the supported pairs.
What if my TXT fails to convert to RTF?
+
Failures are usually caused by corrupted source files or unsupported TXT 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.
