Why Chatref
Why turn RTF into AI-ready content by hand when Chatref does it automatically?
Clean Markdown is the perfect format to train an AI on. Instead of cleaning up control codes by hand, Chatref ingests your RTF, files, and URLs automatically and answers customers from them – with citations and human handoff when needed.

Is the RTF to Markdown converter free?
Yes. It's free with no sign up. The conversion runs entirely in your browser – your RTF is never uploaded to a server.
What does it keep and what does it drop?
Plain text, paragraphs, and line breaks are kept, and unicode and hex escapes are decoded back into characters. Font tables, color tables, embedded pictures, and other control groups are stripped.
Can I upload an .rtf file instead of pasting?
Yes. Upload an .rtf or .txt file, or paste the raw RTF source (the text that starts with {\rtf1). Both are read the same way.
Why convert RTF to Markdown for AI?
Markdown gives you clean text without RTF's control codes, which is ideal for an AI knowledge base. That's what Chatref ingests to answer customer questions from your own content.
