Questions
Is this rich text to PDF converter free?
Yes. Converting here is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark. Sign in only if you want your files kept in a library you can come back to, or want to convert a batch at once.
What happens to my formatting when I convert rich text to PDF?
PDF keeps the exact page layout, fonts, images and pagination. What it cannot carry over is easy editing — a PDF is a finished document, not a draft. Coming from rich text, the content that matters — bold, italics, headings, lists and basic tables — is what the converter works from.
What happens to my file after it is converted?
It is converted on our server and handed straight back to you in the response. Nothing is stored, and nothing is kept after the download unless you are signed in and chose to save it to your library.
How big a rich text file can I convert?
Up to 10 MB here without an account. A free account raises that to 100 MB and lets you convert many files in one run.
What will open the PDF file I get?
Any browser, phone, or PDF reader.
Do I need Microsoft Office to convert rich text to PDF?
No. The conversion runs on our server, so you need nothing installed — just a browser.
