Features & use cases
Features
- Rich Text Format is parsed by Pandoc into document blocks before writing EPUB, so rtf-to-epub keeps structure better than page layout.
- Headings, paragraphs, lists, block quotes, code, links, and simple tables become semantic target elements where the writer supports them.
- Theme styling, exact pagination, comments, tracked changes, and application metadata may be simplified or omitted.
- EPUB navigation, chapter files, and metadata are repackaged; reader CSS may not match the original ebook exactly.
Use cases
- Prepare RTF files for tools that expect EPUB.
- Create reviewable samples for support tickets, tests, and data handoffs.
- Batch recurring file chores while keeping warnings attached to each output.
- Normalize partner or archive files without installing desktop conversion software.

Will EPUB match the Rich Text Format layout exactly?
No. Pandoc emphasizes semantic document structure, so editable content survives better than pixel-perfect layout.
Are images preserved?
Images are retained when Pandoc can extract them and the destination supports embedded or referenced media.
Can I choose Markdown style?
This pair does not write Markdown, so Markdown flavour does not apply.
What happens to comments and tracked changes?
Reviewer comments, revision history, and app-only metadata are not reliable body content and may be omitted.
Does this run anonymously in the browser?
No. Pandoc conversions run on secure servers because the conversion engine is native tooling.
Everything you need
Browser-first privacy
CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, XLSX, and table conversions run locally when the source and target formats support it.
Warnings, not surprises
Formula drops, flattened arrays, sheet selection, and layout changes are surfaced as conversion warnings.
Batch and zip
Queue multiple files, download individual results, or package them into a zip for handoff.
API, CLI, MCP
Convert from browsers, scripts, automations, and AI assistants with the same warnings and outputs.
Team workspaces
Shared history, API keys, limits, and retention settings keep production conversions controlled.
Retention you control
Browser files never upload; server inputs auto-delete within 24 hours and outputs follow workspace retention.
