About BSB files

BSB file types are a type of raster image file created by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA). These files are used for storing and displaying digital nautical charts and are commonly used by the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and other maritime organizations. BSB files are usually accompanied by a companion file, called a KAP file, which contains the chart's georeferencing information.

BSB files can be converted to other image formats, such as JPEG, TIFF, and PNG, using software such as GDAL, ImageMagick, and GIMP. However, due to the complexity of the georeferencing information in the KAP file, conversion can be difficult and may require manual adjustments to the output image. Additionally, some of the features of the BSB file, such as the color palette and the chart's legend, may not be preserved in the converted image.

For these reasons, it is often easier and more reliable to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert BSB files. Convert.Guru provides a simple and straightforward way to convert BSB files to other image formats, while preserving the chart's georeferencing information and other features.

Convert.Guru analyzes your BSB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted KAP, [BSB], PSB, WEBP, ZIP, TIF, PDF, RAR, BSP, BIN and PNG files.



The BSB 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 BSB converter.
