About IFP files
IFP files, known as Item Definition Files, are primarily used in video game development to define animations for characters and objects. These files are notably used in Rockstar Games' titles, such as the Grand Theft Auto series. Despite their niche application, there may be instances where converting IFP files to other formats is necessary.
Common file formats you can convert IFP files into include 3DS, OBJ, and FBX. These formats are widely used in 3D modeling and animation, making them more versatile for various applications.
For conversion, software like Autodesk 3ds Max and Blender can be employed. While these tools are powerful, they require a steep learning curve and may not be accessible to all due to cost and complexity.
Challenges in converting IFP files arise from their specific use case and structure. The lack of widespread support across software platforms can complicate the processing and translation of animation data. Furthermore, improper conversion can lead to data loss or distortion of animations.
While IFP files serve their purpose well within game development, their limitations in compatibility and application make them less ideal for broader use. To overcome these limitations, we recommend using the free and easy-to-use Convert.Guru. Simply drag-n-drop your IFP files onto the website to conveniently convert them into more common formats without the hassle of complex software.

The IFP Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best IFP converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
