For broader category context, compare the same format against the rest of the AEC catalog on the landscape map.
Use a tool that lists both RVT (import) and IFC (export) in its reviewed file-format coverage. Revit exports IFC natively via File > Export > IFC; other reviewed tools such as ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, and BIM coordination platforms offer similar paths. Check the tool review for which IFC version is supported and any documented geometry loss.
Yes -- several tools on this page list RVT as import or native. Some are view-only (check the Support column above); others allow editing or re-export. Autodesk Viewer and several coordination tools accept RVT for viewing without a Revit seat.
RVT is Revit's proprietary native format; IFC is an open, vendor-neutral BIM exchange standard. Converting RVT to IFC lets downstream tools (structural analysis, facility management, compliance checking) consume the model without requiring a Revit licence.
