Extract text from Wii U textures (WUT)
To convert WUT textures to another format, you need Noesis or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Asset / Metadata" file type, you need software like Noesis or a similar tool.
A .wut file is most commonly a proprietary Wii U Texture used in video games developed by Fun Labs (such as Angry Birds Trilogy), or a WUTG Tag File storing audio metadata templates created by the WUSSoft WUTG Editor. Wii U textures contain raw image data used to wrap 3D in-game objects, while WUTG tags hold text-based ID3v1 metadata (like artist and genre) intended to be applied to audio files.
To view or extract Wii U textures, game modders typically rely on Noesis equipped with specialized Python extraction scripts. Conversely, WUTG tag files require the legacy WUSSoft WUTG Editor to apply their stored metadata to standard audio formats.
The primary disadvantage of the .wut format is its highly proprietary and closed nature. Wii U textures are locked, raw graphical assets that utilize console-specific DXT compression. They will immediately crash standard image viewers and cannot be opened by modern operating systems. Similarly, WUTG tag files are completely useless without the original legacy software, as they contain zero playable audio data. Standard online converters fail to process .wut files because they lack the obscure decoders required for console textures.
Converting a .wut game texture to a standard PNG, JPG, or DDS file is the only practical way to view or edit the game graphics in programs like Adobe Photoshop. For WUTG tags, extracting the internal text to a standard TXT or XML file ensures the metadata remains readable. Our engine will analyze the file signature to determine if it contains raw game textures or plain text metadata, attempting to extract the underlying content safely.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WUT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

If you want to convert WUT file to MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WMA, M4A, AIFF, OPUS, ALAC, APE or WV, you can use Noesis or similar software from the "Game Texture & Audio Metadata" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MIDI, AAC, TTA, AU, WV, DTS, MID, FLAC, RA, MP3, PCM or WAV files to WUT, try Noesis or another comparable tool in the "Game Texture & Audio Metadata" category.
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 WUT converter.
