Rich Text Format

Rich Text Format (RTF) is a file format used to create and exchange text documents that can include formatting such as bold, italics, different fonts, colors, and paragraph styles. Unlike plain text files, which only contain basic text, RTF files preserve formatting across different word processing programs without being tied to a specific software. This makes RTF a versatile and widely compatible way to share documents that require styled text, while remaining simple and accessible for users and software applications alike.
