RTF to PDF

Turn an RTF letter or note written in WordPad, TextEdit or an older editor into a PDF that is easy to print or email. Your file stays in your browser.

Choose your document

Choose an RTF file and convert it to PDF. The first conversion prepares the local Office engine and may take a moment; the next file on this page is faster.

Local limit: 10 MiB per document

Choose a document, then convert it to PDF.

Processing happens on this device. Keep this tab open until your PDF is ready.

Select the downloaded sample and convert it. Two PDF pages: an amount of 148.50, English and Russian text and a table on the first page.

What to expect

Text, images and page layout are converted together. Fonts and complex formatting may differ from your Office editor; check your PDF before sharing.

Large documents may exceed your device’s available memory. If conversion fails, try a smaller document or another device.

Help with conversion

The converter does not start

Check your connection while the converter prepares itself, then retry. This converter needs a modern browser and sufficient memory.

My document could not be converted

Open the document in your editor and save a new RTF copy. Password-protected, damaged or unsupported files may fail. The input limit is 10 MiB and the PDF output limit is 20 MiB.

Processing takes too long

Preparing the converter stops after two minutes; conversion stops after one minute. You can cancel during processing and restart with a smaller document.

A practical guide

Convert RTF to PDF for letters and notes

  1. Choose the RTF file from your computer or phone.
  2. Convert it to PDF on your device.
  3. Open the PDF and check fonts, bold text and line breaks.

Try this example

Convert a one-page RTF cover letter written in TextEdit; the PDF should keep the bold heading and paragraph spacing.

Before you start: Pictures pasted into some RTF files from other apps may not appear, and missing fonts can be replaced with similar ones.
