Archivists

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my RTF documents formatting stay the same in the PDF?

In most cases, yes. Fonts, spacing, images, and page layout are carried over as they appear in the original document. Documents that rely on fonts not available on our servers may render with a close substitute instead.

What software do I need to open an RTF file?

RTF is a widely supported format that opens in most word processors, including Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer, and Apple Pages. You do not need any of them installed to use this converter.

Is there a file size or file count limit?

Each file can be up to 50MB, and you can upload up to 50 files in a single batch.

Can I convert more than one RTF document at a time?

Yes. Each uploaded document is converted individually to its own PDF, and when you convert more than one at once, the resulting PDFs are packaged together into a single zip file for download.

Is it safe to upload documents with personal or business information?

Yes. Uploads happen over an encrypted connection, and both the source document and the resulting PDF are automatically deleted from our servers after processing.

Is RTF to PDF really free to use?

Yes. There is no cost, no subscription, and no account required. Convert as many documents as you need.

Can I convert RTF to PDF on my phone?

Yes, the tool is fully responsive and works in any modern mobile browser on iOS and Android.

Why convert RTF to PDF instead of keeping it as RTF?

PDF locks in the exact layout and prevents accidental edits, and it is universally viewable without needing a compatible word processor.
