Rich Text Format (RTF) is a document format Microsoft created so that formatted text could move between different word processors and operating systems. An RTF file is plain text with formatting written as readable control codes, so bold, italics, fonts, colours, tables, and images survive the journey while the file stays open and inspectable. That universality made RTF the safe middle ground for decades, and virtually every word processor ever written can read it.
RTF opens with no extra software on any system: WordPad and Word on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and LibreOffice or Google Docs everywhere else.
Because the format is plain text underneath, you can also open an RTF in any text editor to inspect its markup directly. Microsoft stopped developing RTF in 2008, and it does not support modern features such as tracked changes or comments, so convert important documents with our RTF to DOCX tool.

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the language every web page is written in. An HTML file is plain text marked up with tags that describe the structure of a document — headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, tables, and forms — which a browser then renders visually. HTML is maintained as a living standard, and it works alongside CSS for appearance and JavaScript for behaviour.
Double-click the file and it opens in your default web browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari — rendered as a web page.
To see or edit the underlying code, open it in a text editor such as Visual Studio Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text, all of which highlight the tags and catch errors. Keep in mind that a saved HTML page often depends on a companion folder of images and stylesheets — move both together or the page will look broken. Our HTML to PDF tool turns a page into a fixed, shareable document.
