About IMSP files
The .IMSP file extension has two distinct primary uses. Most commonly, it acts as a Survey Pro Survey File, generated by iMagic Survey Designer. In this context, it stores proprietary questionnaire structures and legacy poll responses for older Windows systems. The other common use is as an Internet Message Support Protocol file, which stores address books, user settings, or scheduling data for early messaging systems like Mozilla Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook. The major disadvantage of both .IMSP formats is their outdated, legacy nature. The survey files are locked into a proprietary ecosystem that modern spreadsheet software cannot parse natively. Similarly, the messaging protocol files often cause compatibility headaches due to limited modern support, making extraction to universal formats like CSV or ICS highly recommended. Sharing these raw files with clients or importing them into modern email clients almost guarantees an error message. Because .IMSP files lack standard, universally accepted encodings, typical online converters fail to parse them. If our engine detects standard comma-separated or calendar strings inside the wrapper, conversion to an accessible spreadsheet or text format may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your IMSP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert IMSP file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use iMagic Survey Pro or similar software from the "Survey Data & Messaging Protocol" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to IMSP, try iMagic Survey Pro or another comparable tool in the "Survey Data & Messaging Protocol" category.
The IMSP 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 IMSP converter.
