FAQ

How do I convert RTF to PDF?

Upload your RTF file to ToolifyPDF, click "Convert", and then click "Download" to save your PDF. It works in any browser, with nothing to install and no account needed.

What is an RTF file?

RTF stands for Rich Text Format. It is a document format created by Microsoft in 1987 that stores text with formatting such as fonts, colors, bold, tables, and images. Most text editors can open it, including WordPad, TextEdit, Microsoft Word, and LibreOffice.

Is this RTF to PDF converter free?

Yes. ToolifyPDF converts RTF files to PDF for free, with no account and no watermark. Each file can be up to 200 MB, and you can convert up to 30 files at once.

How do I change an RTF file to PDF on Windows?

Upload the RTF file here and download the PDF. If you have Microsoft Word, you can also open the file and use File > Save As and choose PDF. Newer versions of Windows 11 no longer include WordPad, so an online converter is often the quickest way.

How do I convert RTF to PDF on a Mac?

On a Mac, RTF is the default format of TextEdit. You can open the file in TextEdit and choose File > Export as PDF, or upload it here in Safari or Chrome and download the PDF in a few seconds.

Will my PDF look like my RTF document?

Yes. Fonts, sizes, colors, lists, tables, and images are kept, and the fonts are embedded in the PDF. If your document uses a font that isn't available on our server, a similar font is used instead, which can slightly change line breaks.

Can I convert several RTF files into one PDF?

Yes. Add up to 30 RTF files, check "Merge all into one PDF", and click "Convert". The files are combined in the order shown: drag them into place or use "Sort by" to sort them by name or by the number in the file name. Without this option, you get one PDF per file in a ZIP file.

Can I convert a PDF back to RTF?

Use our PDF to Word tool to turn the PDF into an editable DOCX file. Then open it in Word or LibreOffice and save it as RTF if you need that format.

Advanced Features

Beyond basic conversion, our RTF to PDF converter offers several advanced features:

  • Batch Conversion: Convert up to 30 RTF files at once and download them in a ZIP file.
  • Merge Into One PDF: Combine all your converted files into a single PDF.
  • Embedded Fonts: Fonts are embedded so the PDF looks the same on any device.
  • Tables and Images: Tables and pictures from your RTF file are kept in the PDF.
  • Selectable Text: The text in the PDF stays real text that you can search and copy.

💡 Pro Tip

If your RTF file has a Word (.doc or .docx) version, you can also convert it with our Word to PDF tool. After converting, open the PDF to check it, and if it's too large to email, run it through Compress PDF.
