Convert a file to RDC

To convert other file formats to the "Graphics Debug Capture" file type, you need software like RenderDoc or a similar tool.


About RDC files

The .RDC file extension most commonly denotes a RenderDoc Capture, a complex binary log created by the open-source graphics debugger RenderDoc. These files function as a digital snapshot of a single frame within a running application, recording every API call (such as Vulkan, DirectX, or OpenGL commands), texture state, and buffer content. They are essential for graphics programmers debugging rendering pipelines.

However, .RDC files present significant friction for general use. They are proprietary "event traces" rather than static 3D models or images, meaning they cannot be opened by standard viewers like Windows Photos or Blender. Furthermore, they are often massive (ranging from hundreds of megabytes to gigabytes) and version-sensitive; a capture taken with an older version of RenderDoc may fail to replay on a newer installation.

To make the content of an .RDC file accessible, users typically perform specific exports rather than full-file conversions. For analyzing textures, resources are often exported to PNG, DDS, or EXR. For geometry inspection, vertex data can be extracted to CSV or mapped to OBJ formats for use in 3D modeling software. A secondary, unrelated use of the extension is for IDRISI Raster Documentation files used by TerrSet. These are lightweight text files containing metadata for GIS raster images. For these, the best conversion target is usually TXT for editing or PDF for archival purposes.

FAQ

If you want to convert RDC file to OBJ, MP4, SHP, KML, KMZ, GPX, GEOJSON, TOPOJSON, ECW or SID, you can use RenderDoc or similar software from the "Graphics Frame Capture" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

To convert LAZ, KMZ, DTM, CSV, DEM, PRJ, LAS, GPX, DSM, SHP, DBF or KML files to RDC, try RenderDoc or another comparable tool in the "Graphics Frame Capture" category.



The RDC 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 RDC converter.
