Convert audio or tracking files (TAK) online for free
The converter easily converts your TAK files to various formats - free and online. No foobar2000 & OptiTrack Motive or or other Audio software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Lossless Audio Compression" file type, you need software like foobar2000 & OptiTrack Motive or a similar tool.
The .TAK file extension is most commonly associated with Tom's Audio Kompressor, a lossless audio format developed by Thomas Becker. It provides high compression ratios and fast decoding speeds, making it popular among niche audiophiles for archiving CD rips. Alternatively, in the 3D animation industry, .TAK files are generated by OptiTrack Motive software to store raw optical motion capture data based on the Microsoft Compound format. Furthermore, .TAK acts as a project file extension storing audio takes within a RIFF container for Magix Samplitude.
The main disadvantage of Tom's Audio Kompressor is its severe lack of hardware and software adoption. Unlike FLAC or ALAC, .TAK lacks native support across web browsers, smartphones, and smart TVs. Playing these audio files typically requires a third-party application like foobar2000 with manual decoder plugins installed. Similarly, OptiTrack and Magix .TAK files are strictly proprietary project formats locked to expensive software ecosystems. You cannot natively share these files with clients or import them directly into standard editing suites.
To ensure playback compatibility, convert audio .TAK files to FLAC or WAV for bit-perfect archiving, or MP3 for web streaming and mobile use. For motion capture pipelines, export from OptiTrack to universally accepted FBX or BVH formats to rig characters in Blender or Unreal Engine. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser.

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 TAK converter.
