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 and confirm the upload. The file is sent to the ToAny conversion server, converted to PDF and removed afterwards.
Save the PDF, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
Browsers cannot convert RTF to PDF reliably, so this pair runs on our server. You are asked before anything is sent, and the page says so plainly.
The uploaded file and the result are deleted once the conversion has finished. Nobody looks at them and they are not used for anything else.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark on the result.
RTF supports only basic formatting and produces bulky files. PDF looks the same on every device and keeps several pages in one file. RTF is at home in basic formatted text that must open anywhere; PDF is the usual choice for documents that must look the same everywhere, and printing.
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 converterPDF fixes a document's layout so it looks identical on every screen and printer. That makes it the default for forms, invoices and anything sent to print, and also what makes it awkward to edit.

Yes, for this conversion. Browsers cannot convert RTF to PDF reliably, so after you confirm, the file is uploaded over an encrypted connection to the ToAny conversion server, converted automatically and deleted once the conversion has finished. Most other conversions on ToAny run in your browser and upload nothing.
Text is kept. Formatting carries over only as far as PDF 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 PDF. There is nothing to install.
Yes. Files sent to the conversion server are capped in size, and the page tells you when a file is too large to upload.
