Convert IT files online for free
The converter easily converts your IT file to various formats - free and online. No Word or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Audio formats to IT with high quality output.
The .IT file extension identifies an Impulse Tracker Module, a tracked audio format originally created by Jeffrey Lim in 1995. Unlike standard audio files like WAV or MP3 that store a continuous waveform, .IT files function like a digital score: they contain short audio samples (instruments) and sequence data (patterns) instructing the computer when and how to play them. This architecture allows for rich, multi-channel compositions in very small file sizes, making them a staple of the Demoscene and retro gaming communities.
However, the format's reliance on specific sequencing logic can lead to major headaches for modern users. .IT files are technically proprietary to the DOS-era Impulse Tracker and require specialized software like OpenMPT or Schism Tracker to interpret the pattern data correctly. Standard media players often fail to open them, and they cannot be imported directly into video editors or DAWs like Ableton Live without conversion.

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.
