How to convert RTF to HTML

  1. Add your RTF files

    Drag one or more RTF files onto the dashed area, or tap it to pick them from your device.

  2. Choose HTML and the options

    HTML is already selected; the options hold the settings that matter for this conversion.

  3. Convert and download

    Press “Convert to HTML”. When it’s done, download the files one by one or all together in a ZIP archive.

Good to know. Fonts, colours and very elaborate layouts are simplified: the structure (headings, lists, tables) is what’s preserved.

Questions about RTF and HTML

Are the images in the document kept?

Yes, images embedded in the RTF are copied into the HTML.

Are my RTF files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion from RTF to HTML happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
