How to use it

  1. Add your files. Drop PDF files on the page or use Choose files. Folders and ZIPs work too.
  2. Check that RTF is selected. RTF is already chosen on this page.
  3. Adjust options if you need to. Quality, size and other settings appear when the format has them.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert; with several files, “Download all” gives you one ZIP.

What happens to your file

The text of the PDF is read with pdf.js and rebuilt into headings and paragraphs, then written as RTF. Pictures and exact layout are not carried over. Scanned PDFs have no text layer: run them through OCR PDF first.

Questions

Is my PDF file uploaded?

No. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, and the RTF is created on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.

Anything to know about RTF?

Text, bold/italic/underline, headings, tables, links and PNG/JPEG pictures are kept. Exact layout may change.

Can I convert several PDF files at once?

Yes. Drop as many as you like, a folder or a ZIP; “Download all” saves every RTF in one ZIP.
