About DBS files

A .DBS file is a multi-format extension that most frequently acts as a project save file for Brosko Kitchen Planner or a schema definition for DbSchema.

1. Brosko Kitchen Design Projects (JSON)

When associated with kitchen planning, the .DBS file stores 3D layout data, furniture placement, and dimensions in a structured JSON text format.

The Problem: These files are strictly for the design application. Clients and contractors cannot view a .DBS file without the proprietary planner software, making it difficult to share concepts or print blueprints.
The Solution: To share designs, users typically need to convert the .DBS project into a raster image (JPG, PNG) for quick viewing or a PDF document for printing technical specifications.

2. DbSchema & Database Files (XML/SQL)

For developers, a .DBS file often represents a database diagram project created by DbSchema (saved as XML) or a standalone database file used by SQLite, SQLBase, or Sage 50 Accounts.

The Problem: Raw database files are unreadable to standard text editors and office software. A Sage financial data file or an SQLite database requires specific drivers or expensive licenses just to view the rows and columns.
The Solution: For data portability, the best workflow is converting these .DBS databases into universal formats like CSV for spreadsheets or SQL scripts for migration. For schema documentation, converting the visual design to HTML or PDF is preferred.

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

Users also converted DB, BDS, DBI, DBF, DPS, SIG, PDF, OBJ, PLAN, ZIP, CDW, XSB and MXL files.
