Drop RTF 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.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the MD, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The RTF to MD converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your documents are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
RTF supports only basic formatting and produces bulky files. Markdown is plain text that stays readable and is easy to keep in version control. RTF is at home in basic formatted text that must open anywhere; MD is the usual choice for READMEs, notes and documentation.
Headings (styles named Heading, or a bold paragraph set much larger than the text), lists, tables and PNG or JPEG pictures are read; fonts, colours, headers, footers and footnotes are dropped.
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
RTF converterMarkdown is plain text with a few symbols for headings, lists, links and emphasis. It is readable as-is and converts cleanly to HTML, which is why developers and note-takers favour it.

No. The RTF to MD conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Text is kept. Formatting carries over only as far as MD supports it.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
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 RTF file, press Convert and save the MD. There is nothing to install.
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.
