Free online IT to WAV converter

Source format: IT

IT is a tracker module format used by Impulse Tracker and compatible music players. It stores song data such as patterns, instruments, samples, effects, and playback instructions rather than a finished audio stream. IT files are common in the demoscene, retro game music, and tracker-based composition workflows. Because they are sequenced modules, they must be rendered or played back by compatible software to become standard audio.

Target format: WAV

WAV is a widely supported uncompressed audio container, most often using PCM audio data. It is valued for broad compatibility, simple editing, and lossless preservation of rendered audio. WAV is commonly used for archiving, audio production, mastering, and interchange between editors, DAWs, and media tools.

How to perform the conversion

The best approach is to render the IT module to audio using a tracker player or audio converter that supports module playback. If you want a quick browser-based option, you can convert the file on 101convert.com for free without installing any software.

1. Open the IT file in a compatible tracker player or converter.
2. Choose an export or render option for audio output.
3. Select WAV as the output format.
4. Set the sample rate and bit depth if the program allows it; common choices are 44.1 kHz and 16-bit.
5. Start the conversion or rendering process.
6. Save the resulting .wav file.

If you prefer desktop software, OpenMPT is a strong choice for module playback and export. In OpenMPT, open the IT file, then use File → Export → Wave or the equivalent render/export command, choose your WAV settings, and save the output. Other tracker-compatible players and audio tools may offer similar render or export functions.

Notes on quality and limitations

IT to WAV conversion is a rendering process, not a simple file rewrap. The output WAV captures how the module sounds during playback, including instrument samples, effects, tempo changes, and any playback-specific behavior. Quality depends on the player’s compatibility with IT effects and the chosen export settings.

Because WAV is usually uncompressed, the resulting files can be much larger than the original IT module. Also, some IT files rely on tracker-specific effects or player quirks, so different software may produce slightly different audio renders. For the most accurate result, use a high-quality IT-compatible renderer and export at a standard PCM setting.
