About IT files
The .it file is an audio module format created for Impulse Tracker, a DOS-based music sequencer developed by Jeffrey Lim in the 1990s. Unlike standard audio files that store continuous soundwaves, .it files store discrete musical notes, timing events, and the digital instrument samples needed to synthesize the track in real-time. You can open these files using dedicated tracker software like OpenMPT or versatile media players like VLC media player. Learn more about the format on Wikipedia. The .it format is practically obsolete outside of retro gaming and demoscene communities. It is proprietary and not supported by standard web browsers, mobile operating systems, or modern video editing software. Sharing these files directly often leads to compatibility errors, as standard audio players cannot parse the sequence data. For web use and general listening, convert to MP3 or AAC. For high-fidelity archiving or use in digital audio workstations, convert to WAV or FLAC. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser using convert.guru - free, online, and without installing complex legacy software.

The IT 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 IT converter.
