About ITC2 files

The .ITC2 file is primarily an iTunes Artwork Cache File or iTunes Cover Flow Data File 2 used by Apple iTunes. Apple uses these files to store album art and metadata to load the Cover Flow view quickly. A secondary, less common use is an iText file for the discontinued iBooks Author. The main disadvantage of the .ITC2 format is that it is a proprietary, closed database file. You cannot open it with standard image viewers like Windows Photos or Photoshop. It is strictly locked into the Apple ecosystem. Users usually encounter these files when backing up their iTunes library and want to extract the album artwork. To make the images usable, you must convert or extract the contents to standard formats like JPG or PNG. Note that you will only recover the raw images; the database structure and iTunes metadata will be lost. Because this file format is proprietary and difficult to open, standard online converters often fail. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ITC2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted ITC, ZIP, DB, KFX, DLL, ACSM, M4V, IPSW and AAC files.
