About XTI files

The .XTI extension primarily refers to an Extended TwinCAT Item file used by Beckhoff TwinCAT, specifically within the TwinCAT 3 engineering environment. These files are typically formatted as XML and serve a crucial role in source control by modularizing larger project files (.TSPROJ) into smaller, manageable components. While this structure is excellent for version control systems like Git, distinct .xti files can be confusing to interpret in isolation without the parent project context. Users often need to convert these files to standard XML, TXT, or PDF to review configuration data, debug logic, or archive system states without requiring a full TwinCAT installation. A secondary use of the format is found in XTrackCAD, an open-source CAD program for model railway layouts, where the file functions as a track parameter or component definition. These files are proprietary and often lack compatibility with standard CAD tools like AutoCAD, creating friction for users attempting to share layout data or print track plans. For best results, converting TwinCAT files to text-based formats preserves data hierarchy, while XTrackCAD files are best viewed within their native application.

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

Users also converted LDC, TCE and B2P files.

The XTI Converter Story

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 XTI converter.
