About CBP files

The .CBP extension is shared by two distinct but highly technical formats.

1. Code::Blocks Project File (Primary)

The most common use is an XML-based project configuration file for the open-source IDE, Code::Blocks. These files store build targets, compiler flags, and file hierarchies essential for C++ development.

Common Challenges:

IDE Lock-in: .CBP files are native only to Code::Blocks. Developers migrating to Visual Studio or CLI workflows cannot use them directly.
Collaboration Friction: Sharing a .CBP file requires the recipient to have the same IDE version and path configurations, often leading to "missing file" errors.
CI/CD Incompatibility: Automated build servers (like Jenkins or GitHub Actions) typically prefer standard Makefiles or CMake scripts over IDE-specific project files.

Conversion Solutions:
To integrate with modern DevOps or other IDEs, users often need to convert .CBP to Makefile or CMakeLists.txt. For documentation or analysis, converting the underlying XML to JSON or TXT renders the settings human-readable.

2. Satisfactory Game Blueprint (Secondary)

The second format is a zlib-compressed blueprint file used by the factory-building game Satisfactory by Coffee Stain Studios. These files allow players to save, share, and replicate complex factory layouts.

Common Challenges:

Binary Obfuscation: Unlike the text-based Code::Blocks format, these are compressed binary blobs. You cannot open them in a text editor to see what parts are required.
Game Dependency: Viewing the blueprint usually requires launching the full game.

Conversion Solutions:
Players often convert these binaries to PNG or JPG via third-party tools to visualize layouts on the web, or to JSON to inspect the item requirements without launching the game.

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

Users also converted DEPEND, CPP, ZIP, CBR, JPEG, CDP, JPG, SAV, D and PZFX files.

The CBP 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 CBP converter.
