Most GTA IV and V gamers will not come encounter the RPF file. However, if you like to modify gameplay, such as the appearance of a character or environment or the sound effects, you will most likely need to edit the RPF file. You can use Spark IV and OpenIV in Windows to edit GTA IV RPF files.

Graphic file created in the Rich Pixel Format (RPF); stores a rendered frame from a 3D video or image; typically includes RGBA (red, green, blue, and alpha) information, but also supports arbitrary image channels such as depth ("z-depth"), transparency, surface normals, and others.

RPF files are often used by 3D compositing applications for applying effects onto rendered frames during post-production. Since the files can contain various types of pixel information, the compositing application can isolate specific parts of the data to apply specialized effects.
