シンプルなテキストファイル(TXT)は、その手軽さから多くの場面で利用されていますが、見た目の表現力に限界があると感じることはありませんか?特に、ビジネス文書やクリエイティブな作品において、文字の装飾やレイアウトの自由度が求められる場面では、物足りなさを感じるかもしれません。そこで役立つのが、リッチテキストフォーマット(RTF)への変換です。RTFは、文字の色やサイズ、フォントの指定はもちろん、画像挿入や段落設定など、より豊かな表現を可能にします。この変換ツールを使えば、あなたの大切なテキスト情報を、視覚的にも魅力的なドキュメントへと生まれ変わらせることができます。たった数クリックで、プロフェッショナルな印象を与える文書作成を始めましょう。

  • 漫画・アニメの企画書作成
  • 縦書きビジネス文書の下書き
  • フォント指定が重要な原稿整理

日本語特有の縦書きやルビ(ふりがな)の表現は、RTFの対応状況や使用するエディタによって挙動が異なる場合があります。変換後の最終確認は、必ずお使いの環境で行うことをお勧めします。

About TXT to RTF Conversion

Short answer: yes, you can convert TXT to RTF online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .txt file to CocoConvert, pick RTF as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.

Now for the details. TXT is plain text with no formatting — universally readable by any device. RTF (Rich Text Format) supports basic formatting and is readable across word processors. Converting between these two formats lets you convert between formats quickly.

Full Name: TXT uses Plain Text, while RTF uses Rich Text Format. Compression: TXT uses None (uncompressed), while RTF uses None (uncompressed). Typical File Size: TXT uses <1 KB–1 MB, while RTF uses 50 KB–5 MB.

Your TXT file is decoded and re-encoded as RTF. Converting TXT to RTF maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.

Common misconception: ""RTF will be smaller than my TXT file"" — in reality, rtf uses no compression, so the output file is often larger than a lossy txt. if you need a small file, rtf may not be the right choice.

CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.

Need to convert more than one file? Free users can do 5 per hour. Pro gets 100 per hour with files up to 5 GB each.
