RPFView is a free, modern archive manager for GTA V Legacy on PC, in the spirit of OpenIV. Modders can browse, search and edit the game's RPF archives, view and edit textures, inspect 3D models, see every clothing item and weapon of the game in Drawable Studio and Weapon Studio, make images of all of them with the Thumbnail Generator, and convert binary metadata to readable XML. Built with WPF and .NET 10 for Windows 10 and 11, RPFView ships no Rockstar keys, derives them from the user's own game, keeps the original game files untouched and updates itself.
