What is a VRC file?

VRC files mostly belong to ViewRanger / VRChat. The VRC file can serve two distinct roles.
ViewRanger Map File: It stores map data, including GPS routes, waypoints, and terrain details. This file type is used in applications for outdoor navigation and tracking. See more at ViewRanger.
VRChat Configuration File: It holds settings and preferences for the VRChat application. These configuration details control aspects like visual appearance and network parameters in virtual reality. More details are available at VRChat.
  • Use a mapping tool (e.g., ViewRanger) to open map files.
  • Use VRChat or a text editor to review and modify configuration settings.
  • FilExt.com note: Checking the file’s header can help determine which format it follows, ensuring that you use the correct application to view or edit it.

    How to open a VRC file

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