Convert RTF to TEXT

RTF, short for Rich Text Format, is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987. It allows users to transfer formatted text and images between different word processors and platforms, ensuring consistency in document appearance. RTF supports basic text formatting, such as bold, italics, and various font types, making it a versatile choice for simple document exchange. Its historical significance lies in its widespread adoption for cross-platform document sharing before the advent of more complex formats like DOCX and PDF. RTF remains relevant for applications that require straightforward, platform-independent text formatting.

The TEXT file extension, is a format used for representing text data without any formatting or binary elements. Originating from the early days of computing, plain text files are utilized for scripting, configuration files, log files, and source code documentation due to their universal readability and ease of creation. They are compatible across different operating systems and software applications, making them essential for data interoperability and communication in various IT and development environments.
