Extract text from DBB files
To convert your DBB file to another format, you need Skype or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "User Data & Backup" file type, you need software like Skype or a similar tool.
A .dbb file is typically found in one of two frustrating scenarios: recovering old Skype chat logs or managing Driver Magician system backups.
1. Skype User Data: For many users, this file contains years of chat history, contacts, and call logs from legacy versions of Skype. The problem is that it is a proprietary database (often related to main.db) that cannot be opened in standard text editors like Notepad. To make this data readable, you must convert it to TXT, HTML, or CSV using specialized extraction tools like SkypeLogView, which parses the binary data into human-readable text.
2. Driver Magician Backup: If this file was generated by Driver Magician, it is an archive containing critical system driver backups. While the software locks these into a .DBB extension, the internal format is often a standard compressed archive. Users looking to manually access specific driver files without reinstalling the software can often convert this file simply by renaming the extension to ZIP and extracting it with 7-Zip or WinRAR.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DBB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TXT, PDF, DB, HIST, SILK and PGA files.
If you want to convert DBB file to INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV, PROPERTIES or RC, you can use Skype or similar software from the "User Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to DBB, try Skype or another comparable tool in the "User Data Storage" category.
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 DBB converter.
