Questions

How do I convert FODT to RTF?

Drop your FODT file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the RTF downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the document editor.

Is my FODT file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Can I convert several FODT files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every RTF inside.
