What Is an RTF File?

This article explains what RTF files are and how they're different from other text documents, as well as how to open one or convert one to a different format like PDF or DOCX.


What Is an RTF File?

A file with the .RTF file extension is a Rich Text Format file. It's different from a plain text file in that it can hold formatting like bold and italics, plus different fonts and sizes, and images.

RTF files are useful because lots of programs support them. This means you can build one through a macOS program, for example, and then open the same file in Windows or Linux and have it look basically the same.


How to Open an RTF File


The easiest way to open an RTF file in Windows is to use WordPad since it's pre-installed. If you're on a Mac, Apple TextEdit or Apple Pages can be used.


Double-clicking the file should be all you need to do to trigger one of those programs to open it. If that doesn't work, search for the app on your computer to launch it, and then use the menus, such as File > Open, to select the RTF file.

There are also other text editors and word processors that work in basically the same way, like LibreOffice, OpenOffice, AbleWord, Jarte, AbiWord, WPS Office, and SoftMaker FreeOffice.


How to Convert an RTF File

The fastest way to convert the file is to use an online tool like FileZigZag. You can save the RTF as a DOC, PDF, TXT, ODT, or HTML file, among several other supported formats. Another online method that supports RTF to PDF, or to PNG, PCX, or PS, is Zamzar.



Yet another method is to use one of the editors from above. With the file already open, use the File menu or some sort of Export option to save to a different file format.

More Information on the RTF Format

The RTF format was first used in 1987 but stopped being updated by Microsoft in 2008. Since then, there have been some revisions to the format. What defines whether one document editor will display the file in the same way as the one that built it depends on what version of RTF is being used.


For example, while you can insert an image in an RTF file, not all readers know how to display it because they aren't all updated to the latest RTF specification. When this happens, images won't be displayed at all.


RTF files were once used for Windows help files, but have since been replaced by Microsoft Compiled HTML Help files that use the CHM file extension.


The first version of the format was released in 1987 and used by MS Word 3. From 1989 to 2006, versions 1.1 through 1.91 were released, with the last RTF version supporting things like XML markup, custom XML tags, password protection, and math elements.

Because the RTF format is XML-based and not binary, you can actually read the contents when you open the file in a plain text editor like Notepad.


RTF files don't support macros, but that doesn't mean ".RTF" files are macro-safe. For example, an MS Word file that contains macros can be renamed to have the .RTF file extension so it looks safe, but then when opened in MS Word, the macros can still run normally since it's not truly an RTF file.
