Will DOCX to RTF keep my formatting?
Common text, headings, lists, tables, and images usually transfer well. Complex layouts, macros, uncommon fonts, and application-specific features can change, so review the converted document before sharing it.
Is the DOCX to RTF converter free?
Yes. Without an account you can convert up to 10 files a day, 2 at a time, up to 25 MB each. A free account adds monthly conversion credits and larger files.
How long are my files kept?
Guest uploads and results are deleted automatically after 1 hour. Conversions stay temporary when you are signed in too, unless you save a result to your workspace.
Can I get a permanent link to the RTF file?
Yes. Save the result to a SteadyLink workspace and it gets a stable link. If you make a new version later, replace the file and the link stays the same.
