TXT to RTF Conversion FAQ
How do I convert TXT to RTF?
+
Drop your TXT 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 TXT 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 TXT 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 TXT 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 TXT 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 TXT files at once?
+
Yes — drag a folder onto the page. Each TXT becomes a separate RTF, all delivered as a ZIP.
What is the largest TXT 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 TXT stay working in the RTF?
+
Yes. URLs, internal cross-references, footnotes, and bookmarks are all mapped to their RTF equivalents.
Is the TXT 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 TXT content?
+
No. Uploaded TXT 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 TXT?
+
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 TXT to RTF on a phone or tablet?
+
Yes. The whole conversion runs in your browser — upload your TXT, get the RTF back, no app to install.
