WPD to RTF Converter — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

What is a WPD file?

WPD is the document format of Corel WordPerfect, dominant in legal and government drafting for decades. It stores formatted text, Reveal Codes, footnotes, tables, and macros in a proprietary binary structure.

What is an RTF file?

RTF (Rich Text Format) is the rich-text interchange format Microsoft published in 1987. RTF is plain-text markup with control words for formatting. Every word processor on every platform — Word, WordPad, LibreOffice, Pages, TextEdit, AbiWord — reads RTF.

Why RTF instead of DOCX?

RTF works in lighter editors like WordPad and TextEdit that do not handle DOCX. It is the safest rich-text format when you do not know which word processor the recipient has installed.

Will footnotes and tables survive?

Yes. Footnotes, endnotes, tables, multi-column layouts, and tab stops are translated into RTF control words. Most word processors render them identically; lighter editors render the text and core formatting.

Will fonts and styles be preserved?

Yes. Bold, italic, underline, font, size, colour, and paragraph alignment are written as RTF control words. If the target editor does not have the original font installed, a similar font is substituted.

Can I batch-convert WPD to RTF?

Online conversion handles one file at a time. For batches, use Total Doc Converter on your desktop: TotalDocConverter.exe C:\wpd_files C:\rtf_out /ConvertTo rtf /ProcessRecursively walks the whole folder in one command.

Are uploaded files kept private?

Uploaded WPD files are deleted automatically after you download the RTF result. They are not stored, indexed, or shared. For confidential drafts, run conversion locally with Total Doc Converter on your own machine.

Convert WPD to RTF — WordPerfect Documents in a Universal Rich-Text Format

WPD locks your text inside the WordPerfect format. RTF (Rich Text Format) is the lowest-common-denominator rich text every word processor reads, from WordPad to Word to TextEdit to LibreOffice. Converting WPD to RTF preserves formatting while giving up the WordPerfect dependency. Drop your .wpd file above.

What Is WPD?

WPD is the native document format of Corel WordPerfect, first released in 1979 and long dominant in legal practice. It stores text with rich formatting, Reveal Codes metadata, footnotes, tables, and macros in a binary structure. Native support remains in WordPerfect and LibreOffice; modern Microsoft Word no longer opens WPD.

What Is RTF?

RTF (Rich Text Format) is the rich-text interchange format Microsoft published in 1987 and froze in 2008. RTF is plain-text markup with control words that describe fonts, paragraphs, tables, and embedded images. Every word processor on every platform reads RTF — Word, LibreOffice, Pages, WordPad, AbiWord, TextEdit, and many more.
