Extract text from RBC files
To convert your RBC file to another format, you need Turnitin or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Grading Criteria File" file type, you need software like Turnitin or a similar tool.
The .rbc file extension primarily identifies a Turnitin Rubric file, a specialized data format used by educators to define grading criteria. These files are typically generated within Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Canvas by Instructure, Blackboard, or Moodle when an instructor exports a grading rubric to share with colleagues or save for future courses. Although the internal structure is often JSON-based, the file is designed to be opaque and is not natively supported by standard text editors or office software like Microsoft Excel. Users commonly struggle with issues when trying to view these files offline, as they cannot simply be double-clicked to read the grading standards; they must be re-imported into Turnitin to be visualized.
A secondary, less common use for this extension is as a Retrospect Backup Catalog file created by Retrospect Backup. In this context, the file serves as a map or index of backed-up data (stored in rdb files) rather than the data itself. Users typically find these files when attempting to restore old backups, mistakenly believing the .rbc file contains their photos or documents. To restore data, the original rdb bulk data files are required alongside the catalog.
For the educational rubric format, the most practical conversion goal is transforming the .rbc into a PDF for printing and distribution to students, or a CSV spreadsheet to edit the criteria values outside the strict LMS interface.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RBC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted RCB, RPC, XLS, PAGES, DOCX, PDF, TXT, JPG, APKG, ACSM and TSX files.
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 RBC converter.
