What is an RGF file?

RGF files mostly belong to Regify. RGF files are not a single-file format but a label for several distinct file types. The most common use is as a Regify encrypted email file, which stores secured email content that can only be read by software designed for Regify encryption.
Other implementations include:
  • Robot Graphics Files – Used by applications like RoboGraphic LCD Designer and for LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 gesture programming.
  • Raster Graphics Format Files – Managed by tools such as the RGF Editor to save pixel-based image or raw signal data.
  • Regatta Files – Employed in sailing software (for example by RegattaMaster) to hold regatta or racing information. You can find more details on this use case at the Regatta web page.
  • Game or Executable Files – In some cases, RGF files are packaged as part of Windows executables for games (including titles like Mahjongg Dimensions Deluxe and formats used by Crossword Compiler) as noted by associations with companies such as Kensington (Kensington).
  • FilExt.com notes: Each variant is designed to work with its specific application. Opening a RGF file successfully requires using the appropriate software related to its origin. For instance, if your file is from the Regify encryption system, then using Regify is essential.
