Frequently asked questions
- Do I need Microsoft Word to open an RTF file?
- No — this viewer renders RTF directly to HTML in your browser.
- Will complex formatting render exactly like Word?
- Most formatting and embedded images render faithfully; highly complex or unusual RTF constructs may render as simplified text.
- Is my document uploaded anywhere?
- No, it's parsed and rendered entirely client-side.
- Can I edit the RTF here?
- This is a viewer, not an editor. For editing, use Word, WordPad, or a compatible editor.
- Why RTF instead of DOCX?
- RTF is an older, simpler rich-text interchange format still used by many legacy tools and email clients — this viewer handles it separately from the DOCX viewer.
