rtf2txt

rtf2txt is a small-sized and portable tool you can use to seamlessly generate plain text documents (TXT format) from rich text files (RTF format) to be able to view and edit file contents in applications which don't offer support for RTF.

Wrapped up in a seemingly rudimentary interface made of a large panel that shows all options available, it's quite evident that the utility hasn't received updates for a long time. Even so, we didn't have any trouble to get it working on newer Windows iterations.

Multiple files can be added to the job list at once by indicating a folder. The program features built-in viewers for both the source and output text, and it gives you the possibility to include or exclude subfolders from the job.

Although it's possible to edit content in these integrated viewers, this shall not be reflected in the output files, which can be created in any preferred directory on the disk, whether it's local, removable or another, shared PC in the network.

There is no option available for customizing the new file names, and the original ones are preserved. You can open the fresh files in Windows Notepad or another text viewer you have installed to check results. Formatting attributes should be maintained without any issues since there are no tables, images or other graphical elements involved, nor HTML code.

Instead of a setup kit, the downloaded item is an executable file that can be saved anywhere on the disk or copied to a removable storage unit to effortlessly launch rtf2txt on any workstation and perform conversions swiftly. It doesn't depend on DLLs or software frameworks, update the Windows registry with new entries, or create files on the disk without your permission.

All things considered, rtf2txt doesn't bring anything new to the table, and the software project doesn't seem to be in development anymore. Nonetheless, it offers a clean and rapid solution for turning numerous RTF files into TXT format simultaneously.
