RTF to PDF Converter

How to Convert RTF to PDF

1. Drop your .rtf file onto the tool, or click to browse for it.
2. Check the settings if you want to. The defaults (Portrait, 11 pt, Helvetica, 1.15 line spacing) suit most documents and are marked "Recommended".
3. Pick a page size if the default is wrong for you: A4 for most of the world, Letter for the US and Canada.
4. Click Convert. The PDF is built inside your browser tab.
5. Download the PDF. Optional extras: page numbers in the footer, the file name as a header, a timestamp.

Why Use This RTF to PDF Converter

• Your file stays on your device. The RTF is read and converted by code running in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
• Formatting that matters carries over. Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, text colors, font sizes and left, center, right or justified alignment are kept.
• Long words don't run off the page. URLs and unbroken strings wrap inside the margins instead of getting cut.
• Set it up once, or skip it. Page size, orientation, font, line spacing and margins all have a recommended default. Optional page numbers, header and timestamp.
• No watermark. Your file size limit is shown on this page, and a free account raises it.

Good to know: embedded images inside an RTF file are not carried over. They appear as an [IMAGE] marker in the PDF. For documents built around pictures or tables, a Word to PDF converter is the better fit.
