Extract text from Game archives (RFS)
To convert RFS Archives to another format, you need RF Online or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Data Archive" file type, you need software like RF Online or a similar tool.
The .rfs extension primarily serves as a Game Resource Archive for MMORPGs, specifically Rising Force Online (RF Online) and Dragon Nest. These files are massive containers - often exceeding 1GB - that lock away game assets like 3D models, textures, and audio files to prevent tampering.
For RF Online players, the file is frequently just a standard ZIP archive in disguise. The proprietary extension prevents users from easily accessing the internal data, but renaming the file often allows standard tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR to open it.
Conversely, Dragon Nest .rfs files are often encrypted or use custom compression, requiring specialized extraction scripts (such as those for QuickBMS) to converting the internal data into usable PNG, WAV, or OBJ formats.
A completely different, minority use case is the Reflection FTP Client Script. These are simple text files used to automate file transfers. Unlike the game archives, these are small (KB size) and can be converted to TXT or viewed in any text editor like Notepad++.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RFS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted RSF, MSH, PAK, RFA, GAT, GRF and RRF 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 RFS converter.
