About B2 files
The .B2 file is a proprietary game save format primarily created by Nival Interactive for the real-time strategy game Blitzkrieg 2. These files store your campaign progress, unit positions, map states, and overall player data. Because this format is strictly closed and proprietary, standard web browsers and document editors cannot open it. Users often attempt to convert these files to text or extract the internal data to modify their game state, cheat, or recover corrupted saves. The main disadvantage of the .B2 format is that it relies entirely on the original game engine to be readable, leaving players stuck if they lack the installed software. While traditional conversion to document formats like PDF or JPG is impossible, advanced users sometimes extract the raw binary data to TXT or HEX files for manual editing. This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert because standard online tools do not understand the specific game engine architecture. Usually, only the original game software can properly read or export the data. However, just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, inspect the file, and show internal text or hexadecimal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your B2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert B2 file to B1, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT or DB, you can use Blitzkrieg 2 or similar software from the "Game Progress Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to B2, try Blitzkrieg 2 or another comparable tool in the "Game Progress Storage" category.
The B2 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 B2 converter.
