Why Convert TXT to RTF?

Converting plain text to RTF enables basic styling—fonts, bold, italics, and lists—while maintaining broad compatibility. RTF serves as an interchange format across word processors.

Use RTF for simple formatted documents, email bodies, or when exporting text to applications that support rich text but not full Office formats.
