In its original conception, the .rtf format was a specification for formatting text and graphics principally designed to facilitate the interoperability of documents and text between Microsoft document processing applications. It eliminated the need for specialized translation software required to open documents in different versions of MS-DOS, Windows, and Macintosh. The specification is a proprietary filename format first developed by Microsoft in 1987 to be supported in Microsoft word 3.0 and all versions of Microsoft Office Word thereof. The latest revision, version 1.9.1, was released in 2008 and also marked the end of any further enhancements to the specification by Microsoft. Through unformatted text, control words, control symbols, and groups, a piece of text can be encoded into an .rtf format. All RTF readers then process .rtf formats by separating and acting on control information disparately from the actual text in the document. Though the RTF specification is proprietary asset of Microsoft, several non-Microsoft programs support both reading .rtf documents and creating .rtf. Microsoft Office Suite is still however the most dominant application associated with this specification.
.WPS is a file extension that provides for word processing documents from Kingsoft Writer, a free alternative to Microsoft Word. The format was developed by Kingsoft, a Chinese software company, for the release of their own office suite back in 1988, WPS Office. WPS is an acronym for Writer, Presentation, and Spreadsheets. Apart from Kingsoft Writer, .WPS is a file extension that provides for Microsoft Works, an earlier project of Microsoft before Microsoft Office. The former office suite was discontinued back in 2007 and is no longer in use. The file extension was replaced by .DOC format, a more versatile and more advanced file format and the standard for Microsoft Office Word known today. Similar to its .DOC counterpart from Word, .WPS can provide the utility of a Word document with the exception of more advanced formatting elements and macros.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for RTF to WPS conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload RTF files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized WPS results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent WPS audio with dependable progress tracking.
Extended ASCII, PC-8, and ANSI are among the original character control sets used in the formatting and text representation of documents saved in the .rtf format. At present the format supports 7-bit ASCII characters. This formally allows the easy transfer of text documents between different computers running different operating systems and applications. RTF requires minimal computer resources and does not support macros. It does however have support for embedding some of the popular graphical format such as JPEG and PNG. Not all applications have support for these embedded graphical format thus .rtf files with unsupported embedded graphical images will open but will not display the graphical images.
As a platform of compatibility with other office suites and file extensions, .WPS operates over libwps, a C++ library that enables the reading and writing of .WPS files. This allows other office platforms to edit these files. WPS files can utilize formatted text, images, and other tools native to a word processing document. Although a less used file format, .WPS can be easily converted to any other file format. Apart from Microsoft Works, the latest versions of Microsoft Office Word can convert .WPS files. Since Kingsoft Writer from WPS Office operates with the .WPS file format, any version of Kingsoft Writer can open and/or convert .WPS files. If the intention is to only view the .WPS files, Microsoft Word Viewer can scan through the .WPS file format.
