RTF Viewer is a unique Chrome extension for conveniently viewing Rich Text Format (.rtf) files in the browser. By clicking on any RTF file link, the file contents will automatically be displayed in the existing tab, similar to Chrome's PDF preview feature. For accessing local files, permission can be granted to the extension, giving access to file URLs. RTF Viewer operates independently of external services, ensuring a seamless RTF viewing experience.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This chrome extension allows to view RTF (Rich Text Format) files in the browser and does so automatically when clicking any link to an RTF file. The RTF file is then automatically displayed in the same tab (similarly to the pdf preview feature in chrome).

This plugin does not depend on any external services to generate the preview.

To open local files click on the extension icon in the toolbar or open files on the file system with chrome (requires giving the extension the permission "Allow access to file URLs" on the extension page).

Does not open rtf files on Linux Mint.

Juergen Menge, 2021-08-16

is it possible at all to open local files in chrome with this? Files in web urls seem to work, but even if I do a local directory index page and click on a file:// url like [file:///C:/Users/username/Desktop/Sample.rtf] it does a download instead of rendering.
