Benefits of converting Excel to RTF
Get basic formatting that opens in nearly any word processor
Switching from Excel to RTF means your file now offers basic formatting that opens in nearly any word processor.
Wider compatibility
Excel is great for editable spreadsheets with formulas, but not every app or device handles it well. Converting to RTF sidesteps that, so the file opens wherever you need it to.
No quality compromise
ConvertFastHub runs LibreOffice at production settings, preserving as much of the original Excel fidelity as the RTF format allows.
Keep your original too
Converting doesn't touch your source file — you get a brand-new RTF file back and can keep both versions.
