Rich Text Format Document

Rich Text Format (RTF) is a document file format developed by Microsoft. It offers cross-platform compatibility, allowing users to open and edit documents on various operating systems and applications. RTF files support text formatting, including styles, fonts, sizes, and colors. They are suitable for creating and sharing documents that require basic formatting but don't need the advanced features offered by other formats. It is a widely supported and easily convertible document format.

Text File

A Text File (TXT) is a simple format for storing text without any specific formatting. It's universally compatible and widely used for storing notes, code snippets, configuration files, and plain text documents. Its primary advantage is its easy readability and editability by virtually any text editor. TXT files don't support rich formatting but offer a quick and straightforward way to store and share textual information, making it ideal for basic text storage needs.
