Extract text from IR files
To convert your IR file to another format, you need Flipper Zero or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Signal Configuration File" file type, you need software like Flipper Zero or a similar tool.
The .IR file extension suffers from significant fragmentation, serving three distinct and incompatible purposes: Infrared Remote signals, Impulse Response audio data, and Intermediate Representation code.
Most commonly, an .IR file contains infrared signal data used by hardware like the Flipper Zero or software like LIRC (Linux Infrared Remote Control). These files store the timing protocols (raw pulses) needed to emulate remote controls for TVs and AC units. The main constraint is their specific syntax; a Flipper Zero .ir file is plain text but requires a specific header and key-value structure, while other remote files might be binary, making them impossible to visualize or edit without specialized tools or conversion.
In audio production, .IR files (often just renamed WAV or proprietary containers) represent Impulse Responses used in convolution reverb plugins to simulate real-world acoustic spaces. Users often struggle when these files are locked to specific software or lack headers, rendering them unreadable in standard DAWs like Audacity.

Convert.Guru analyzes your IR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted RAR, LPZ, CLZ, IS2, SYX, SIG, WAV, LRTEMPLATE, PDF, ZIP, 7Z, TXT and SLDPRT files.
If you want to convert IR file to WAV, JPG, PDF, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP, ICO, CUR or PSD, you can use Flipper Zero or similar software from the "Infrared Remote Signal Library" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to IR, try Flipper Zero or another comparable tool in the "Infrared Remote Signal Library" 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 IR converter.
