About Converting RTF to EPUB

RTF is a plain-text document format that encodes basic formatting (bold, fonts, colors) in a way almost every word processor can read. It is a safe lowest-common-denominator exchange format. When you need to move away from RTF, the usual reason is simple: larger than docx.

Converting your RTF document to EPUB solves that. EPUB is the open, reflowable e-book standard used by most readers except Kindle. Text adapts to any screen size, and the format supports images, styling and navigation. In practice you gain reflowable text for any screen and open standard. PrivConvert runs the whole RTF-to-EPUB conversion in server memory and deletes your file the instant the EPUB is ready — nothing is stored, logged or reused.

When this conversion helps

  • You need reflowable text for any screen
  • You need open standard
  • You need supported by most e-readers and apps
  • Sharing a RTF document with someone whose software expects EPUB

Tips for best results

  • Files up to 250 MB are supported, and you can batch-convert several RTF files at once; each is processed privately and deleted immediately.
