How to convert HTML to RTF

  1. Add your HTML web pages

    Drop HTML (HTM) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. RTF is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the RTF, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The HTML to RTF converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your web pages are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

HTML to RTF: what to expect

An HTML file depends on a browser and often on separate image and style files. RTF opens in nearly every word processor ever made. HTML is at home in web pages and emails; RTF is the usual choice for basic formatted text that must open anywhere.

The RTF is plain ASCII with Unicode escapes, so it survives any code page. Headings carry real heading styles; lists are paragraphs with a typed marker and a hanging indent, not live lists.

HTML vs RTF

HTML

Web page

HTML is the markup every web page is written in. A saved .html file contains the page's structure and text; its images, styles and scripts usually live in separate files.

Opens in Every web browser

RTF

Rich Text document

RTF carries basic formatting such as bold, fonts and simple tables in a plain-text wrapper that nearly every word processor reads. It does not support modern layout features.

Opens in Word, WordPad, TextEdit, LibreOffice and most word processors

Questions

Are my web pages uploaded anywhere?

No. The HTML to RTF conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting HTML to RTF?

Text is kept. Formatting carries over only as far as RTF supports it.

Can I convert several HTML files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert HTML to RTF on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the HTML file, press Convert and save the RTF. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
