Is there a free way to convert PST file to RTF?

Yes, you can convert PST files to RTF for free using a manual method, but it requires Microsoft Outlook and some extra steps. In this approach, you need to open the PST file in Outlook, select the desired email, copy its contents, paste it into a word processor like Microsoft Word, and save the file in RTF format. This method is completely free but only works for a few emails and can be time-consuming if you have a large number of files. Additionally, Outlook does not provide a direct option to export emails to RTF in bulk, which makes manual conversion inefficient.

For better results, especially when handling multiple emails, using a professional solution like BLR Tools is recommended, as it allows bulk conversion while preserving formatting, attachments, and metadata accurately.
