They're sometimes used interchangeably, but the difference is that "in" indicates a location or condition, and "into" indicates a change in location or condition. For instance:

It's in the box.
I put it into the box.

I'm in the house.
I walked into the house.

Thank you very much.

Your explanation is really clear.
