Convert Outlook rules (RWZ) online for free
The converter easily converts your RWZ rules to various formats - free and online. No Microsoft Outlook or or other Settings software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration File" file type, you need software like Microsoft Outlook or a similar tool.
The .RWZ file format is primarily used as an Outlook Rules Wizard file. It stores the automated email routing, filtering, and forwarding rules created by users to manage their inboxes. Less commonly, it serves as a Rawzor Compressed Image, a highly specialized image archive format.
To apply these email rules natively, you must use Microsoft Outlook. Users frequently need to convert or extract data from .RWZ files to document their complex inbox logic, migrate filters to a different email client like Gmail, or share compliance rules with an IT department.
The main disadvantage of the .RWZ format is that it is a proprietary, closed binary configuration file. It requires a paid Microsoft subscription to open, and it cannot be parsed by standard text editors or web browsers. Opening it in Notepad results in scrambled, unreadable characters. Standard online document converters fail to process it because it contains application-specific logic instructions rather than standard document text or images.
Ideally, users want to convert .RWZ files to TXT, CSV, or PDF to document their email rules, or to JPG if it is a Rawzor image. Because this file format is a proprietary configuration blob, it is notoriously difficult to open or convert externally. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our analysis can inspect the file, extract embedded text strings, and show internal content to help you reconstruct your rule logic.

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 RWZ converter.
