Opening an RCL File

The RCL file type is primarily associated with Nero Burning ROM.

RCL	File extension: RCL
	File type:	multi-purpose data file

What is an RCL file?

RCL files mostly belong to Nero Burning ROM.

RCL files are not a single, uniform file type. Their purpose depends on the software that created them.

CD Label Files: RCL files can store CD label information. This use appears with Nero Burning ROM, where the file (also known as a RealJukebox CD Compilation file) holds the layout or design for a CD label. For more details, visit Nero’s site.
Radio Control / Configuration Files: Some RCL files are encoded in UTF-16 (LE) and work as Radio Control Language files or as configuration files for rich text columns. These are used by systems like RealCalc and Visual FoxPro.
Class Roster Files: Other RCL files contain lists or rosters. Managed by systems such as WCMS, they are used to keep class lists similar to those at the University of Western Ontario. More information can be found at UWO’s website.

FilExt.com note: To open an RCL file, try a plain text editor first. Look for clues in the file’s content that may indicate which software created it.

How can I open an RCL file?

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