Extract text from Illustrator templates (AIT)
To convert AIT templates to another format, you need Adobe Illustrator or other Vector Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Template File" file type, you need software like Adobe Illustrator or a similar tool.
The .AIT file is an Adobe Illustrator Template file. Designers use it to create multiple vector drawing files that share the same default layout, settings, and graphics. When you open an .AIT file in Adobe Illustrator, the software generates an untitled new document based on the template to prevent overwriting the original file.
The main disadvantage of the .AIT format is its proprietary nature. It requires an expensive, recurring subscription to Adobe to open and edit natively. Web browsers, mobile devices, and standard image viewers cannot display .AIT files. Sharing these files with clients or non-designers inevitably leads to compatibility errors and restricted access.
To make the content usable for others, you must convert the .AIT file. Convert to PDF for universal document sharing and printing. Use SVG for web-based vector graphics that scale without quality loss. Use PNG or JPG for quick visual previews. Be aware that converting to raster formats like PNG will permanently flatten the layers and remove the scalable vector data.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it contains closed, proprietary data specific to Adobe. Often only the original software can properly read or export the editable layers, effects, and typography. Standard online converters frequently fail to process it. Because .AIT files are internally built on a PDF structure, our analysis often detects a supported embedded format.
Convert.Guru analyzes your AIT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted AI, INDT, ASE, AIR, PDF, JPG, APKG, DWG, ZIP, DTA, CRDOWNLOAD, ICS and AAE files.
If you want to convert AIT file to PSD, AI, SVG, PDF, PNG, EPS, JPG, CDR, WMF, EMF, SWF or FLA, you can use Adobe Illustrator or similar software from the "Vector Graphics Template" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert AFPUB, EPS, FIG, VSD, SKETCH, VDX, AFPHOTO, PDF, AFDESIGN, SVG, VSDX or AI files to AIT, try Adobe Illustrator or another comparable tool in the "Vector Graphics Template" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our AIT converter.
