Limits and what to check
The conversion runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded. RTF support is partial: fonts, colours, page layout, images and embedded objects are not kept, and tables become plain text. Read the notes under the result and compare it with the original before you use it.
This tool runs in your browser and does not use an AI model.
Frequently asked questions
Using the tool
Q1Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is read and converted in your browser and nothing is sent to AI Smarty. Files can be up to 2 MB and 500,000 characters.
Q2What formatting is kept?
Paragraphs, line breaks, tabs, bold, italic, accented letters and Unicode characters such as emoji. Fonts, colours, sizes and page layout are not carried over.
Q3What happens to images, tables and embedded objects?
Images, embedded objects and field codes are left out, and you are told when that happens. Table cells are kept as text separated by bars rather than rebuilt as a table, so check them against the original.
Q4Why was my file refused?
Files that are not RTF, contain embedded binary data, are nested too deeply or are larger than the limits are refused safely rather than partly converted. Saving the document again as plain RTF from your word processor often helps.
