Convert TXT to RTF
What is TXT?
TXT
TXT stores plain text using character encodings like ASCII (7-bit), UTF-8 (variable width), or UTF-16 (fixed width). No formatting, styles, fonts, or embedded objects—just raw character data with line breaks. Universal compatibility across all platforms and text editors. Extremely small file sizes. Maximum size limited by file system (typically multiple gigabytes possible). The simplest, most portable document format.
- TXT stores editable documents with text, formatting, and embedded content
What is RTF?
RTF
RTF uses human-readable ASCII text with embedded formatting codes in curly braces (e.g., \b for bold). Developed by Microsoft for cross-platform document exchange. Supports fonts, colors, styles, tables, and embedded images (as hexadecimal data). Much larger file sizes than binary formats due to ASCII encoding. Maximum practical size limited by text editor capabilities. Widely compatible across word processors and platforms.
