What is an RTF File?
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a document file format specification developed by Microsoft in 1987. Unlike plain text files, RTF supports text formatting including fonts, colors, bold, italic, underline, paragraph alignment, lists, and tables. The format uses readable ASCII markup codes, making it cross-platform compatible and readable by virtually any word processor on Windows, Mac, or Linux. RTF is widely used for document exchange, email attachments, and applications that need formatted text without the complexity of proprietary formats.
