Does my RTF file get uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file or pasted text is processed locally on your device and never transmitted to any server.

What RTF formatting is supported?

The converter handles bold (\b), italic (\i), underline (\ul), paragraph breaks (\par), line breaks (\line), tabs (\tab), and hex-encoded characters (\'xx). Unsupported control words are stripped cleanly.

What is the maximum file size I can convert?

You can upload RTF files up to 5MB in size. For larger documents, consider splitting them into smaller sections before converting.

Can I paste RTF content directly instead of uploading a file?

Yes. You can paste raw RTF markup directly into the textarea and click Convert without needing to upload any file at all.

How do I save the Markdown output?

After converting, you can click the Copy button to copy the Markdown to your clipboard, or use the Download button to save it as a .md file directly to your device.
