Open RND File
Files in the RND format and extension are relatively rare, and are not encountered that regularly.
The RND file extension is associated with older 3D rendering software, virtual machines, and privacy encryption software.
The RND file format was also used on some very old computers and may still exist as a file.
However, we are going to list some of the uses that have been given to it over time, since its creation.
AutoCAD Autoshade
Produced by Autodesk, Inc., Autoshade is an older 3-D rendering package that was made to work with AutoCAD, the company's design aids application.
It should be noted that Autoshade has been replaced by more complex shadow programs.
This program uses RND files to save rendered data.
In early versions, the RND file contained 2-D vector artwork and could be imported into vector editors.
Later versions of Autoshade could also save rendering RND files.
Pretty Good Privacy
This encryption platform protects personal and business data.
You can encrypt entire drives, just emails, or specific files.
Pretty Good Privacy, also called PGP, today known as OpenPGP, can be run from the command line or through a graphical user interface.
It links well with other encryption applications, allowing companies to manage multiple security programs from one console.
PGP uses the RND extension for random seed files, on which its encryption techniques are built.
These files are usually saved in the "Application Data\PGP\PGP" directory.
VMWare
VMWare is an application designed to create virtual computers on desktop and laptop machines.
It is often used to create virtual versions of specific types of computers, which can be accessed remotely.
Along with PuTTY, a terminal emulation program, VMWare uses the RND file extension for files containing random data, hence its acronym.
