What is an RLA file?
An RLA file is a Wavefront Raster image format, originally developed by Wavefront Technologies (later part of Autodesk) for high-end 3D animation and visual effects. It supports multi-channel raster data — including RGB, alpha, depth (Z), normals, UVs, and object IDs — in a single file. RLA is often used for frame sequences in film/VFX pipelines.

 

What is an RLA file used for?

  • Storing rendered frames with extra passes (depth, alpha, motion vectors)
  • Compositing in tools like Autodesk Flame, Discreet Combustion, or Nuke
  • Archiving multi-layer image data before OpenEXR became standard
  • Legacy SGI/IRIX and high-end post-production workflows
 

How to open an RLA file?

  • Adobe Photoshop (with RLA plugin or built-in support in older versions)
  • Autodesk Flame / Lustre
  • Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve (Studio version, limited)
  • FFmpeg (ffmpeg -i file.rla output.png)
  • ImageMagick
  • GIMP (via plugin or format support in newer builds)
  • OpenImageIO-based tools (e.g., DJV, tev)
 

Is an RLA file an image file?
Yes.
An RLA file contains raster pixel data — often multi-channel — making it a true (though specialized) image format.
