ATX is very generic, and can be built for a variety of purposes, while ITX is built with a specific purpose in mind due to limited or no expansion

ITX are built with compatability in mind, ATX are built to only work with other ATX compatable parts

Detailed explanation-1: -This size advantage for standard ATX motherboards allows them to feature more PCIe lanes. And, that makes them better suited for multi-GPU setups, or for users that want to utilize multiple PCIe devices. Mini-ITX motherboards, on the other hand, are shorter in both height and width than micro-ATX motherboards.
Detailed explanation-2: -Compared to an ATX motherboard, an ITX one is petite and minuscule, almost laughably small. mATX is square in the middle-not too big but certainly not too small either. Their size, naturally, affects many different things, the most important one being their number of ports/slots and, in some cases, features.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most common motherboard form factor is ATX. The different types of ATX are known as micro-ATX (sometimes shown as µATX, mini-ATX, FlexATX, EATX, WATX, nano-ATX, pico-ATX, and mobileATX). A smaller form factor is ITX, which comes in mini-ITX, nano-ITX, and pico-ITX sizes.
