RTF opens in most word processors, but not everyone has one handy. Filemorph converts an RTF file to PDF on your iPhone, ready for anyone to open.

Filemorph converting an RTF document to PDF on iPhone

Rich Text Format still shows up from older software, exported notes and some email clients, and while many word processors can open it, a PDF is the safer bet when you do not know what the recipient has installed. Filemorph converts it locally, with formatting intact.

Filemorph reads the RTF's text formatting directly and lays it out on fixed pages, preserving fonts, bold and italic styling, and basic paragraph formatting. The result is a straightforward document render, suited to notes, letters and simple formatted text rather than heavily designed layouts.

How to convert RTF to PDF on iPhone

Pro
  1. Add your RTF file. Open Filemorph and pick the .rtf file from Files or the Share sheet.
  2. Choose PDF. Tap Convert and choose PDF as the output format.
  3. Save or share. Tap Convert. The PDF saves locally, ready to read, print or send.

In the app: Convert → RTF → PDF.

Why convert RTF to PDF?

PDF opens reliably on any device, while RTF support varies between apps and sometimes drops formatting on the way in. Converting to PDF locks the text and formatting in place so it looks the same wherever it lands.

Is it private?

Yes. Unlike web converters that upload your files to a server, Filemorph converts every file locally using Apple's frameworks. Nothing leaves your device, and it works with no internet connection. This operation is part of Filemorph Pro ($29.99/year, 7-day free trial on monthly and annual plans).
