Textutil Text Beautifier: From TXT to Beautiful Rich Text

This tool uses macOS's built-in textutil command to convert plain text files (.txt) with no formatting into rich text files with specified fonts, font sizes, and colors, quickly improving document readability and aesthetics.

⚡️ Quick Start

1. Select File: In "Single File Processing" mode, select a .txt file.
2. Set Font: In the preview area on the right, choose your preferred font (like "PingFang SC"), font size, and color.
3. Choose Output Format: Decide whether to save the file as RTF (rich text) or HTML (web page).
4. Click "Execute" Button: After the command completes, you'll get the converted file.

🤔 When Should I Use It?

• You wrote a .txt format note and now want to convert it to formatted rich text (.rtf) so you can adjust fonts, colors, and send it to others.
• You need to quickly convert a plain text file into a simple HTML page for viewing in a browser.
• You want to batch apply uniform fonts and font sizes to a bunch of .txt files to make them look neater.

⚙️ Parameter Settings

• Processing Mode:

  • Single File Processing: Operate on one selected text file.
  • Batch Processing: Apply the same formatting rules to all .txt files in a specified folder.

⚠️ Important Notes
