.rtf
Cross-platform document format that preserves basic text formatting.
About this format
RTF is an older interchange format that stores text, fonts, colors, and simple layout instructions readable by many word processors. It is useful when compatibility matters more than advanced formatting.
Safety guidance
RTF normally contains formatting only, but embedded objects can add risk.
