What is an RTK file?

RTK files mostly belong to Recipe Keeper.

RTK files are used in two main ways. Some files store recipe backups in a compressed (ZIP) format, while others hold GNSS base station data used for real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS surveys.

  • Recipe Backup Files:
    These files are created by applications like Recipe Keeper (and by RecetteTek) to back up recipe collections. They use the ZIP compression format. You can open these with any archive tool or the dedicated Recipe Keeper software.
    Example: For more details, visit Recipe Keeper Online.
  • RTK GPS Data Files:
    In other cases, RTK files store GNSS base station data used for high-precision RTK surveys. They contain raw measurements that specialized GNSS software processes.

FilExt.com tip: If you are not sure which type you have, try opening the file with a ZIP extractor; if the content is not readable, it may be a GPS data file that needs dedicated RTK software. Use the appropriate tool to view and use the data in your file.

How to open RTK files

You need a suitable software like Recipe Keeper to open an RTK file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your RTK file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RTK file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
