What is an RSR file?

RSR files mostly belong to Poser by Bondware. RSR is a proprietary raster graphics format used to store thumbnails of 3D models in libraries within Poser, a 3D application for creating human models and poses. Images stored in RSR files are used to render previews of 3D models and the file typically has the same base filename as the PZ2 material pose file. 4th Dimension relational database management system stores its database resource fork in an RSR file. Some license related information used by KaleidaGraph graphing software are also saved in files with RSR filename extension.

How to open an RSR file

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

RSR file format:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the RSR files is as follows:

The RSR file extension covers a large number of different file formats. The two most common formats are as follows:

All other RSR files (89%) have no uniform format, frequently e.g. TIME. Files like these are sometimes linked to save, asiport, game, gamedata, internet, recstr or data. Just click the "Choose your .rsr file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your RSR file is.
