What this tool does to your file

The Rich Text Format file’s text is read and written into a PDF that opens the same way for everyone. It carries the wording rather than the design — no fonts are embedded, so the PDF uses the standard set every reader already has, and images and exact layout are not reproduced. The consequence to know about: characters outside Latin-1 have no glyph in those fonts and become a question mark, which covers Hungarian’s ő and ű and every non-Latin script. Tabs become spaces, and other invisible control characters are dropped rather than printed as question marks — marking something that was never visible would only be noise. RTF uploads are capped at 25 MB whatever your tier, because the format is uncompressed and inflates quickly once objects are embedded in it. Up to 20 files per job.

What happens to your files

No account needed — Every tool works as a guest. Signing in raises the limits and keeps your files together, but nothing asks you to register before you get a result.
It runs in your browser — There is nothing to install and nothing to keep up to date. Files travel to our servers over an encrypted connection, and come back the same way.
Deleted means deleted — When you delete a file, it is erased from our storage straight away, with no hidden copies or backups. Uploads and results are deleted five minutes after you download your result: always as a guest, and by default with an account.
Size limits, stated up front — Up to 10 MB per file as a guest, and up to 25 MB signed in. You see the limit before you upload, not after.
