The rtf file extension is used for documents written in Rich Text Format, a text format with some very basic formatting preserved.

RTF format stores data in plain ASCII text file with additional formatting commands somewhat similar to HTML files. It allows exchange of text files between different word processors or different operating systems.

The RTF format was developed by Microsoft in 1987. In 2008 the updating of RTF was stopped.
