MD to RTF Conversion FAQ
How do I convert MD to RTF?
+
Drop your MD file onto the upload area. PDF.to reads the source structure and writes an equivalent RTF document you can download immediately.
Will styles, headings, and lists survive the MD to RTF conversion?
+
Yes. Heading levels, paragraph styles, ordered and unordered lists, and inline formatting (bold, italic, links) are mapped to RTF equivalents.
Do tables in my MD come through correctly in the RTF?
+
Yes — tables are reconstructed as native RTF tables with row, column, and merged-cell structure intact.
Will images embedded in my MD stay embedded in the RTF?
+
Yes, at original resolution and position. Inline images, floated images, and image-in-table cells all carry over.
Does the converter preserve track-changes and comments?
+
Yes when both MD and RTF support them. If RTF has no comment model, comments become inline annotations or are stripped — your choice in the options panel.
Can PDF.to batch-convert many MD files at once?
+
Yes — drag a folder onto the page. Each MD becomes a separate RTF, all delivered as a ZIP.
What is the largest MD file I can convert?
+
100 MB on the free plan, 5 GB on PRO. Documents that large usually have heavy embedded images.
Will hyperlinks and cross-references in the MD stay working in the RTF?
+
Yes. URLs, internal cross-references, footnotes, and bookmarks are all mapped to their RTF equivalents.
Is the MD to RTF converter free?
+
Yes for documents under 100 MB. PRO accounts get larger files, faster processing, and batch ZIP delivery.
Does PDF.to keep my MD content?
+
No. Uploaded MD files and converted RTF outputs are deleted from our servers within an hour. Conversion runs in an isolated worker.
Why does my RTF look slightly different from my MD?
+
Different document formats have different default fonts, margins, and pagination rules. We preserve content faithfully; minor visual differences in fonts or page breaks are expected.
Can I convert MD to RTF on a phone or tablet?
+
Yes. The whole conversion runs in your browser — upload your MD, get the RTF back, no app to install.
