Convert RVC to another file type
To convert your RVC file to another format, you need RockWorks or other GIS software.
Convert a file to RVC
To convert other file formats to the "Raster and Vector Composite" file type, you need software like RockWorks or a similar tool.
About RVC files
The .RVC file extension identifies a MicroImages TNTmips Project File, a highly structured GIS container capable of storing raster objects, vector coordinates, CAD drawings, and database attributes in a single proprietary file. While technically originating from the TNTmips geospatial analysis suite, these files are frequently encountered by users of Golden Software products (like Surfer) and RockWare applications for geological modeling.
The main difficulty with .RVC files is their "Project File" nature; they are not simple images but complex, object-oriented databases that standard image viewers cannot open. Users typically need to convert them because they require specialized, expensive software like TNTmips or RockWorks just to view the data. For broader compatibility, these files should be converted to GeoTIFF (TIF) for raster elevation data, ESRI Shapefile (SHP) for vector boundaries, or PDF for easy sharing and archiving.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RVC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert RVC file to TTS, TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD or LOCK, you can use RockWorks or similar software from the "GIS Project Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to RVC, try RockWorks or another comparable tool in the "GIS Project Storage" category.
The RVC 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 RVC converter.
