From the old interchange format to modern Word
RTF is the format almost every word processor can read, which made it the go-to for sharing documents for decades. But it’s dated, and many tools now expect .docx. Converting brings an RTF file into the current Word format without losing its formatting.What carries across
Bold, italic, underline and strikethrough, headings, bullet and numbered lists, and tables are preserved as you convert to .docx. The result opens natively in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice.Text encoding done right
RTF stores special characters and accents in an old escaping scheme that other converters often mangle — turning accented letters or smart quotes into garbled symbols. Filesmith decodes these correctly, so café stays café.Frequently asked
