Extract text from XRNS files
To convert your XRNS file to another format, you need Renoise or other Audio software.
To convert other file formats to the "Tracker Module" file type, you need software like Renoise or a similar tool.
The .XRNS file is the native project format for Renoise, a "tracker" style Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) popular in the electronic and chiptune music scenes. Unlike a standard audio file (such as MP3 or WAV) which stores a recorded waveform, an .XRNS file acts as a container holding the recipe for a song: it stores note patterns, effect chains, automation data, and the raw instrument samples required to play the track. Because this is a complex project file dependent on the Renoise audio engine, it cannot be played by standard media players like VLC, iTunes, or Windows Media Player, nor can it be uploaded directly to streaming services.
A critical feature for users to understand is that .XRNS files are actually standard ZIP archives in disguise. If you need to recover the raw recording assets (typically stored as FLAC or WAV) or access the song data (stored as XML), you can simply rename the file extension from .xrns to zip and extract the contents without installing any special software. For general listening, however, the file must be opened in Renoise (a free demo is available) and "Rendered to Disk" to create a universal audio format. For sharing on the web, convert the rendered output to MP3; for archival or professional mastering, render to WAV or FLAC.
Convert.Guru analyzes your XRNS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 XRNS converter.
