What happens to your data
Kept
- Every line break is kept, and a blank line starts a new paragraph
- Columns lined up with spaces or tabs keep their alignment in a monospaced block
- UTF-8 and UTF-16 files are read directly, and old Windows code pages (including Cyrillic Windows-1251) are detected automatically
- A Rich Text file that almost every word processor opens, including WordPad and very old programs
Good to know
- A text file has no fonts or styles, so the document uses the standard ones.
- RTF is an old format: the file is noticeably larger than a DOCX, and newer features are simplified.
- Files up to 300 MB are accepted.

TXT vs RTF
TXT
A TXT file is plain, unformatted text — no fonts, no styling, no structure beyond line breaks. The simplest and most universal document format there is, readable by literally anything.
Used in: Plain notes · Logs · Universal compatibility
RTF
An RTF file is a lightly-formatted text format (bold, italic, fonts, basic layout) that almost any word processor can open, designed specifically for cross-application compatibility.
Used in: Cross-application documents · Legacy word processors
