Convert a file to EIT
To convert other file formats to the "Interactive Whiteboard File" file type, you need software like Interwrite Workspace or a similar tool.
About EIT files
The .eit file extension is used for several entirely different proprietary formats. The most common use is the Interactive Whiteboard Lesson file created by eInstruction Interwrite Workspace, a software suite for educational smartboards. Another major application is Electrical Impedance Tomography data, used by medical imaging devices like the Dräger PulmoVista or the EIDORS project to store thoracic scans. Older legacy uses include Franklin Electronic Publishers indexed text for hardware dictionaries and UV radiometer data logs from EIT PowerView software. Users frequently struggle to open .eit files because they are highly proprietary and fragmented. You cannot simply double-click them on a modern PC, and web browsers do not support them. Interwrite whiteboard files are tied to specific educational software that requires a paid license or is completely obsolete. Dräger medical files are strictly clinical data requiring specialized analytical tools like Draeger EIT-Software. Because these are closed formats, standard online converters fail to process them. They cannot guess whether your file is a medical scan or a school lesson. If you want to convert a whiteboard .eit to a standard .PDF or .PPTX format, you typically need to export it directly from the original Workspace software. However, there is a pragmatic workaround. Whiteboard .eit files are often just standard .ZIP archives containing XML files and media like .PNG or .JPG images. We will identify the underlying format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported embedded format like a ZIP structure, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EIT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert EIT file to TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX, LATEX, MD, MARKDOWN, LOG or NFO, you can use Interwrite Workspace or similar software from the "Interactive Whiteboard Lesson Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, DOCX, JPG, TXT, NOTE or RTF files to EIT, try Interwrite Workspace or another comparable tool in the "Interactive Whiteboard Lesson Storage" category.
The EIT Converter Story
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 EIT converter.
