Convert into the more widely-compatible RTF format

Some older software or systems only recognize the RTF format, so a Word file you have on hand needs converting before it will work there. Upload your .docx file here and this tool extracts the text content and regenerates it as an RTF file.
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a long-established, relatively simple document format that nearly every word processor can read. It's more broadly compatible than .docx and is commonly used whenever document content needs to move across different software or systems.
This conversion mainly preserves the text content and paragraph breaks, not the original document's exact fonts, colors, or embedded images — RTF itself has more limited styling capability than .docx. The process also prioritizes getting the text itself right, including correctly handling non-English characters without any garbling, even though finer layout details aren't carried over one-to-one.
Use it when you need to convert a Word document into the more broadly compatible RTF format for some legacy system, when you're standardizing document formats across a batch, or when you need a compatible file for software that can't read .docx. Everything runs locally in your browser — your file is never uploaded to any server.
