Some word processors and document workflows accept RTF but do not handle an HTML page as an editable document. Converting an HTM file to RTF makes its supported text and formatting easier to edit or share in those programs.

What an HTM file contains

HTM is a filename extension for an HTML document, the markup used to structure web pages. Web editors and content-management systems create HTM files, and browsers may save them when you download or save a page. A page can also rely on separate images, stylesheets, fonts, or scripts.

What RTF provides

Rich Text Format (RTF) stores formatted document content, including elements such as paragraphs, fonts, lists, and tables. Word processors on different operating systems widely support it, making it useful for editing and exchanging documents without requiring the recipient to use the original application. RTF does not preserve web-page behavior such as scripts or interactive forms.

Convert online on 101convert.com

  1. Choose the HTM file on the converter page and upload it.
  2. Start the conversion to RTF. The conversion runs on the site’s server with LibreOffice; multiple files can be converted as a batch. The page shows the per-file size limit.
  3. Download the converted RTF file.

Convert offline with desktop software

LibreOffice is free and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. In Writer, open the HTM file with File → Open, then choose File → Save As, select Rich Text Format (.rtf), and save. To convert from a terminal, use libreoffice --headless --convert-to rtf --outdir output input.htm; replace output with the destination folder and input.htm with the source filename.

Microsoft Word is a commercial option for Windows and macOS. Open the HTM file with File → Open, then choose File → Save As and select Rich Text Format (.rtf) as the file type.

Formatting and content limits

Conversion maps HTML formatting to the features RTF supports, so page layout, fonts, spacing, and tables may differ from the browser view. Images may be omitted if they are external or unavailable to the converter. Scripts, forms, links to web resources, and other interactive behavior do not become equivalent RTF features; check the result and keep the original HTM file if those elements matter.
