I built this because I kept running into the same problem: I'd write something in Markdown (it's fast, it's clean), but then I needed to send it as a formatted email or drop it into a Google Doc. Pasting raw Markdown into Outlook doesn't exactly look professional. This Markdown to Rich Text Converter takes your Markdown and turns it into RTF -- a format that word processors, email clients, and text editors all understand. Need to go the other way? There's a Rich Text to Markdown converter for that, or check out the Markdown to Excel converter if you're working with tables and data.
Headers, bold, italic, lists, tables, code blocks, links, images, blockquotes -- it's all supported. GitHub Flavored Markdown works too, so you can throw your README files or wiki pages at it and they'll come out looking right. Task lists with checkboxes? Those work. Pipe-delimited tables? Those too. If your Markdown renders on GitHub, it'll convert here.
RTF was originally created by Microsoft as a way to move documents between different word processors. The nice thing is it's an open spec -- Windows, Mac, Linux, it doesn't matter. WordPad opens it, TextEdit opens it, LibreOffice opens it. When you're sending a document and you don't know what software the other person has, RTF is the safe choice. If you need web-ready output instead, try the Markdown to HTML converter.
You can draft emails in Markdown way faster than clicking formatting buttons in Outlook. Write it up with headers and bullet points, convert to RTF, and paste it into your compose window. Your email looks polished and it took half the time.
Not everyone on your team uses the same OS or has Word installed. RTF files open on Windows, Mac, and Linux without any extra software. It's not the fanciest format, but when you need a document that just works on every machine, it's hard to beat.
A lot of content management systems have rich text editors but don't accept Markdown directly. Converting to RTF first lets you paste formatted content into WordPress, Contentful, or whatever CMS you're using without manually reformatting everything.
Take notes in Markdown during a meeting (it's faster than fussing with Word's toolbar), then convert to RTF when you need to share them with the team. The headings, lists, and bold text all come through properly formatted.
The preview refreshes in real time -- no convert button to click. Just type or paste and see the result right away.
Everything runs client-side in JavaScript. Your text isn't sent anywhere. Works offline after the page loads.
Standard Markdown plus GitHub Flavored Markdown -- tables, task lists, fenced code blocks, strikethrough, all of it.
Preview panel shows you exactly what the RTF file will look like before you download anything.
No account, no payment, no conversion limits. Just open the page and use it.
Grab the RTF file or copy the text to your clipboard -- one click either way.
It's pretty straightforward -- here's how it works:
Drop your Markdown text into the input area on the left. You can also upload a .md file or click Sample to see how it works with some example content.
The right side of the screen shows a live preview of your formatted document. It updates as you type, so you can tweak things before downloading.
Hit Download to get an RTF file, or Copy to grab the text for pasting into an email, doc, or wherever you need it.
The RTF file works in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, Outlook -- basically any app that handles formatted text.
