RTV	File extension: RTV
	File type:	binary file

What is an RTV file?

RTV files mostly belong to RenderDoc. RTV files have two distinct uses, which share the same file extension but differ in structure and purpose.

Graphics Profiling: These files are used as Real-Time Viewer or Profiler record files by tools like RenderDoc. They capture data from graphics pipelines to help with debugging and performance analysis. You can open these files with RenderDoc, which is designed to read the proprietary binary structure and display detailed rendering information.

Real-Time Video / Project View: Other RTV files use the Microsoft Compound format. They store structured visual data and sometimes serve as a project view file, for example in applications related to Revit. These files may contain real-time video or design views, and require software aligned with the file’s originating source for proper display.

FilExt.com tip: This file extension is not uniform; its functionality depends on the originating application. Always use the designated viewer or analysis tool to open the file, as standard media players or text editors will not correctly interpret the data.

How to open RTV files

You need a suitable software like RenderDoc to open an RTV 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 RTV file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RTV file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
