Convert RCD files online for free
The converter easily converts your RCD file to various formats - free and online. No Media Player or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Data formats to RCD with high quality output.
An .rcd file is a generic container format used by over a dozen incompatible software applications to store recorded data, ranging from geotechnical analysis and industrial logs to remote desktop sessions. The most common origin is Rocscience software (e.g., Slide2, RS2) for storing slope stability or soil analysis data. Other frequent sources include Rigol digital oscilloscopes (saving waveform data), RSUPPORT remote support tools (saving session videos), and Ambiera RocketCake (saving website projects).
The primary friction with .rcd files is the "extension collision" - users often cannot identify which software created the file. A Rigol waveform file will fail to open in Rocscience, and a pcAnywhere session recording won't play in a standard media player like VLC. Furthermore, these formats are strictly proprietary. Rocscience files require expensive engineering licenses to view or edit, and industrial data logs from Rockwell Automation are often binary-encoded, making them unreadable in text editors like Notepad. This vendor lock-in traps valuable data inside the file, preventing easy sharing with clients or analysis in third-party tools.
To make the content usable, your conversion target depends entirely on the source application. For Rigol or Agilent oscilloscope data, convert to CSV or XLSX to analyze waveforms in Microsoft Excel. For Rocscience engineering projects, the best approach is exporting to PDF for static reports or DXF for CAD interoperability. For RSUPPORT or pcAnywhere recordings, you must typically use the vendor's specific player utility to export the proprietary stream to standard MP4 or AVI video for playback. RocketCake web projects should be published directly to HTML.

Users also converted RCDX, SMF, DL0, SCORE and GTX 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 RCD converter.
