How to convert rich text to PDF
Three steps, a few seconds, nothing to install.
Paste your rich text
Copy text from any rich-text source — a word processor, email, web page or notes app — and paste it into the editor. Line breaks, blank lines and indentation carry over.
Choose a font and layout
Open Page setup and pick the font that fits: sans-serif for clean reading, serif for a traditional look, or monospaced for code and data. Set A4, US Letter or US Legal, portrait or landscape, and adjust margins and spacing.
Download the PDF
Press Download PDF. The output is a properly typeset document with real, selectable text — not a screenshot — so it stays searchable in every PDF reader.

Why convert rich text to PDF?
Rich text carries formatting that depends on the app it was written in. Open the same content in a different editor, on a different operating system, or in a different email client and the fonts change, the spacing shifts, and the layout breaks. A PDF freezes the page: margins, line breaks and font sizes stay exactly where you set them, on every screen and every printer.
This converter takes the text content from your rich-text source and lays it out on properly typeset pages with the font and spacing you choose. The result is a PDF with selectable, searchable text — not a scan or a screenshot — so it remains useful long after the conversion.
Rich text vs. plain text: what happens when you paste
When you copy from Word, Google Docs, Notion or an email, your clipboard holds both a rich-text version (with bold, italic, colours) and a plain-text version (just the characters and line breaks). This converter uses the plain-text layer, which means your paragraphs and indentation come through cleanly, while inconsistent styling from the source is stripped away.
You then apply your own formatting through the page-setup panel — a single font, a single size, uniform margins — so the PDF comes out looking consistent and professional regardless of how messy the original document was.
Questions about converting rich text to PDF
Can I convert rich text to PDF without installing anything?
Yes. This converter runs in your browser — there is nothing to download or install. Paste your text, adjust the layout if you want, and press Download PDF.
Does it keep my formatting when I paste from Word or Google Docs?
The converter works with the plain-text layer of your clipboard: line breaks, paragraph spacing and indentation are preserved. Visual styles like bold, italic and colour are not carried into the PDF — instead you choose a font, size and spacing that apply uniformly, which gives you a consistent, clean document.
What is the difference between rich text and plain text?
Plain text is characters and line breaks — nothing else. Rich text adds formatting: fonts, sizes, bold, italic, colour, tables. When you paste rich text here, the converter keeps the structure (lines and paragraphs) and lets you apply your own consistent formatting through the page-setup panel.
Is this rich text to PDF converter really free?
Yes. There is no hidden plan, no trial, no watermark, and no limit on the number of documents you convert. The tool is free every time you visit.
Where is my text processed?
Inside your browser. Your text is never sent to a server, never stored anywhere, and disappears from memory when you close the tab. The only network request during conversion is for a font file when your text contains characters outside standard PDF fonts.
Can I convert RTF files directly?
This converter handles plain-text content — paste from any source or switch to the Text files tab to drop .txt files. If you have an .rtf file, open it in any text editor or word processor first, copy the content, and paste it here. For batch file conversion, the file tab handles up to 20 files at once.
What fonts and page sizes are available?
Sans-serif, serif or monospaced fonts from 8 to 16 pt. Page sizes include A4, US Letter and US Legal in portrait or landscape. Three margin widths and three line spacings let you fine-tune the layout.
How large a document can the converter handle?
There is no character limit on pasted text. The PDF output caps at 1,000 pages. If your text would exceed that, the converter stops and tells you instead of producing a truncated file.
Where your text goes
Nowhere. The conversion happens in the page you are looking at, on your own processor: your text is never sent to a server, never written to storage, and gone from memory when the tab closes. There is no account for a document to be attached to, and the only request the page makes while converting is for a font file — and only when your text reaches past the fonts every PDF reader already carries.
