Recover the written content of rich-text exports for reuse in plain-text workflows. The reader handles RTF groups and common text encodings while discarding font tables, embedded objects, and other non-text destinations.

This is a text-focused conversion. Fonts, colors, embedded images, and complex formatting are not reproduced in the Markdown output.

Frequently asked questions

What does the RTF converter preserve?

It extracts written content, including supported Unicode characters, paragraph breaks, and tabs. It removes RTF control syntax and non-text destinations such as font tables, making the text easier to edit in a Markdown workflow.

Why do colors and images disappear from the RTF output?

This is a text-focused reader. It does not reconstruct the RTF document’s visual design or embedded objects. Keep the original file when you need its layout, and use the output when the written content is what matters.

Do I need a Chatbyte account?

No. These tools are free to use without signing up. Shared usage limits protect availability. Creating and running a Chatbyte chatbot is a separate product.

How is my content processed?

Tools process submitted content on the server for the request. AI tools send extracted text through Vercel AI Gateway to the selected AI model provider. This app does not save tool inputs to a database. Chat history stays in the current tab until reset. Avoid confidential or personal data.
