About RBC files

An .rbc file is predominantly an Educational Grading Rubric used by Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Canvas by Instructure and rubric generation tools like RubiStar. Under the hood, the 83% majority of these files are structured as standard JSON data. However, the extension is also heavily fragmented: approximately 5% of .rbc files operate as proprietary backup catalogs for Retrospect Backup & Recovery, while a smaller fraction represents encrypted tax reporting files generated by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

The primary disadvantage of the .rbc format is its rigid proprietary association. While the educational variant is simply JSON text, operating systems lack a default handler, leaving educators confused when attempting to open, print, or share grading criteria via email. Furthermore, the Retrospect catalog and CRA tax variants are completely locked down and encrypted, blocking any third-party access.

For the educational rubric variant, converting .rbc to JSON, CSV, or PDF is the most practical solution to guarantee universal readability and offline sharing. However, because standard online converters fail to parse the specific internal JSON schema or navigate the encrypted binary variants, this file format is notoriously difficult to process. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - like the raw text in an LMS rubric - viewing or conversion may still be possible.

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.
