Extract text from Karaoke and audio projects (TK2)
To convert TK2 Audio files to another format, you need KaraFun Player or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "Karaoke Data File" file type, you need software like KaraFun Player or a similar tool.
If you are trying to open a .TK2 file, you are likely dealing with a proprietary data file rather than a standard playable media file. The format generally serves two distinct communities, and neither allows for simple "double-click" playback in standard media players like VLC or Windows Media Player.
According to file usage statistics, the most common origin is KaraFun, a popular karaoke player and editor. In this context, the .TK2 file acts as a backup or track modification file. It typically contains synchronization data, lyrics, or playlist information rather than the raw audio itself. Users often encounter these when trying to restore a karaoke library or move songs between devices.
For audio engineers and musicians, a .TK2 file is a "Take" file used by MAGIX Samplitude and Sequoia. Historically, Magix used the .TAK extension, but switched to .TK2 to avoid conflicts with the Tom's Lossless Audio Kompressor format. These files are small metadata pointers that tell the DAW how to process a specific audio clip (cuts, fades, effects) within a larger project. They do not contain the full audio waveform and cannot be converted to MP3 or WAV without the original source audio and project file.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TK2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CIF, RXC and LTH files.

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 TK2 converter.
