Convert a file to RAP
To convert other file formats to the "Visual Programming File" file type, you need software like RAPTOR or a similar tool.
About RAP files
The .RAP extension primarily refers to flowchart files created by RAPTOR (Rapid Algorithmic Prototyping Tool for Ordered Reasoning), a visual programming environment used heavily in computer science education. These files store executable algorithms as graphical flowcharts rather than text-based code. While excellent for logic visualization, .rap files are proprietary and cannot be opened by standard image viewers or web browsers. To share these algorithms with instructors or non-programmers, users often need to convert them into static images like JPG or BMP, or export the logic into functional code files like JAVA, CPP, or CS.
A secondary but significant use of the format is as a Project File for Room Arranger, a piece of software used for designing room layouts and floor plans. These files contain vector data regarding walls, furniture, and dimensions. Sharing these native files with clients or contractors is problematic if they do not own the software license; therefore, converting these designs to PDF for blueprints or PNG for visual previews is a standard workflow. Less frequently, a .rap file may be a Relativity Application Package used in legal e-discovery, or simply a renamed RAR archive.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RAP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert RAP file to PKG, RIF, BASE64, HEX, BIN, ENC, CRYPT, AES, DES, RSA, PGP or GPG, you can use RAPTOR or similar software from the "Visual Algorithm Flowchart" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert CER, BIN, PEM, DER, KEY, P7S, PFX, ENC, P12, BASE64, P7B or HEX files to RAP, try RAPTOR or another comparable tool in the "Visual Algorithm Flowchart" category.
The RAP Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RAP converter.
