RTF to HTML – Convert Rich Text to HTML Online

What is RTF to HTML

RTF to HTML is a free online converter that lets you import .rtf files or edit rich text directly in the browser and get live HTML output. It is designed for common text formatting rather than complete RTF fidelity for every advanced Word feature.

Use this RTF HTML converter to convert RTF to HTML for websites, CMS platforms, and web applications. The editor supports common formatting such as headings, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, lists, quotes, links, horizontal rules, and tables.

How to Use RTF to HTML

Step 1: Import RTF or Edit Visually

Import your .rtf file or use the rich-text toolbar to create and format content. You can add headings, emphasis, lists, links, and tables without manually writing HTML.

Step 2: Review Live HTML

The generated HTML updates automatically as you edit. There is no separate Convert button, making the RTF to HTML online workflow quick and convenient.

Step 3: Copy or Download HTML

Copy the generated HTML or download it for use in your website, CMS, or application. You can also open the result in HTML Viewer for further inspection.
