Pro Tools session

Choose a file… or drop it here

.ptx, .ptf, .pts, .zip · up to 4096 MB

Replace file

The session file (.ptx from Pro Tools 10 and later, .ptf from 7 to 9, .pts from 5 and 6), or a .zip of the whole session folder with its Audio Files folder. With the folder, the audio is checked and can be packed with the REAPER project.

Options

Session folder on your computer (optional)

Where the session folder is on the computer you will open the results on, for example D:\Sessions\My Song or /Users/me/Music/My Song. The Premiere, Logic and OTIO files then point at the audio there. Left empty, they point where it was when the session was saved. The REAPER project finds the audio when it is saved in the session folder either way.

Render each track as a WAV file (ZIP uploads)

When the session folder was uploaded as a .zip with its audio, also render every track to one WAV file (clips, fades and crossfades as edited; volume, pan and plug-ins are not applied). All files start at the same point, so they line up in Ableton Live, Studio One, Cubase, FL Studio or any other program.

More options

Pack the REAPER project with the audio (ZIP uploads)

When the session folder was uploaded as a .zip, also make a .zip of the REAPER project with every audio file it plays in place, ready to unpack and open.

Your files are deleted after processing.

See inside a .ptx file without Pro Tools

A .ptx file is a Pro Tools session: the tracks, the clips on them, the fades, the plug-ins and the list of audio files they play. Without Pro Tools it is just an unreadable file. Upload it here to see what it holds and to take the edit to another program.

What you see straight away

The session settings: which Pro Tools saved it (Pro Tools 10 to 2026, on Mac or Windows), sample rate, bit depth, timecode rate and start, length.
A picture of the timeline: tracks in order with their colours, clips, fades and crossfades, MIDI notes and markers, so you can tell a dialogue edit from a music mix at a glance.
The track list: kind (audio, MIDI, instrument, aux, master, VCA, folder, video), channel format, folder, hidden or inactive tracks, clip counts and the plug-ins on every track.
A session report to keep or send: all of the above plus markers, the tempo map and every audio file with the path it had when the session was saved.

When the audio is missing

Sessions often arrive without part of their audio. Upload the session folder as a .zip and every file the session needs is looked up in it; the ones that are missing are named, so you know exactly what to ask for. The audio file list has the folder each file was in on the studio's computer.

Taking it further

The same upload gives a REAPER project, XML for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, FCPXML for Logic Pro, EDLs, a MIDI file, spreadsheets of tracks and clips with their timecodes, and (from a session folder ZIP) every track rendered as a WAV file.

Older sessions

.ptf files (Pro Tools 7 to 9) and .pts files (Pro Tools 5 and 6) are read the same way. Files from the Session File Backups folder are sessions too: if the main session is damaged or cut short, try the newest backup.
