TWiki to RTF Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
TWiki is the enterprise wiki markup of TWiki/Foswiki — ---+ headings, %VARIABLES% and inline tables — still running in many corporate intranets. Convert to RTF when the recipient's toolchain is ancient, locked-down or unknown — it is the lowest-common-denominator rich text that opens anywhere.
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.

About the TWiki format
TWiki wrote the book on enterprise wikis in the 2000s — the ---+ heading syntax, %VARIABLES% macros and TML tables spread through corporate intranets and spawned the Foswiki fork. A generation of internal documentation lives in this markup, often on servers nobody dares upgrade.
Migrating those intranets is where TWiki conversion earns its keep: Pandoc reads TML headings, lists, tables and wiki links, and re-emits them as Markdown for Confluence-era platforms or as Word/HTML for frozen archives.
+Strengths
- ✓Purpose-built for structured intranet knowledge
- ✓Macro variables enable templated pages
- ✓Huge installed base in enterprises
!Limitations
- −Enterprise decline after the Foswiki split
- −Variables and plugins rarely survive conversion
- −Legacy tooling only
About the RTF format
RTF is Microsoft's 1987 rich-text format, and it refuses to die for a good reason: the file is plain ASCII with readable backslash commands, so any program ever written can open it. WordPad, Word, TextEdit, LibreOffice, ancient mainframe editors — RTF is the lowest common denominator of formatted text.
It carries bold, italics, fonts, colors, tables and images, but its layout fidelity is modest by design — think "formatted text", not "typeset page". That makes RTF the right target when the recipient's toolchain is unknown, ancient or locked down: it opens everywhere and keeps the formatting that matters.
+Strengths
- ✓Opens in literally every word processor
- ✓Plain-text based — never corrupted by email or old systems
- ✓Keeps bold/italic/tables/images without a full office suite
!Limitations
- −No templates, macros or document automation
- −Layout fidelity far below DOCX/PDF
- −Verbose encoding makes files larger than DOCX

Frequently asked questions
Is this TWiki to RTF converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for TWiki to RTF?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Can I edit the RTF result afterwards?
That depends on the target: RTF is designed for what it does, and this converter reproduces its content faithfully rather than inventing editable structure. For heavy re-editing, work from a format built for editing and export the final version here.
Does the conversion work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely inside your browser — you can even disconnect and keep converting. No file ever touches a server.
