RenderDoc is a free and open source frame debugger that can be used to analyze single frames generated by other software programs such as games. RenderDoc can provide in-depth analysis of single frames from any application that uses Vulkan, D3D11, OpenGL & OpenGL ES, or D3D12.[2][3] RenderDoc also allows the user to manipulate a captured frame to see and extract different things such as texture maps, models, assets, and more.[4][5] RenderDoc can also capture assets outside the view of the game's camera.[6] RenderDoc supports analyzing frame rendering costs on the graphics processing unit.[7]

RenderDoc development started as a spare-time project out of need for a reliable debugger and was then expanded to support more platforms.[8] In 2014 Crytek announced RenderDoc is released for free.[9] At GDC 2018, AMD announced that Radeon GPU Profiler would include support for RenderDoc.[10] RenderDoc also integrates with well known game engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine.[11][12] Oculus maintains it's own fork of RenderDoc.[13]
