A: Yes—just reverse the XOR (apply the same script with ^= 0x29 again). Or let RPG Maker re-encrypt when you deploy your project.

A: Those are different (audio-related). This post is strictly for .rgmvp (image) files. Final Thoughts The .rgmvp format is a minor speed bump, not a brick wall. With a simple XOR decode, you can turn that “locked” file back into a usable PNG.
Have a different encryption method or a game that uses a custom key? Let us know in the comments below.
Today, we’re going to fix that. Let’s talk about what .rgmvp files actually are, why they exist, and—most importantly—how to convert them to standard .png images. First, a quick myth-buster: An .rgmvp file is a PNG file. But with a twist.
RPG Maker MV and MZ use a custom encryption/scrambling method for their assets (tilesets, faces, battlers, etc.). They take a normal .png , apply a simple XOR obfuscation, and save it as .rgmvp .
