Extract text from E-learning board files (EBF)
To convert EBF Board files to another format, you need Explain Everything or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "E-learning & Backup Files" file type, you need software like Explain Everything or a similar tool.
The .EBF file extension is most commonly an Educational Board File used by interactive whiteboard and e-learning software such as Explain Everything and Educosoft E-Class. These files store recorded whiteboard sessions, containing vector annotations, freehand drawings, audio tracks, and embedded images. Secondary uses for the .EBF format include encrypted firewall configuration backups generated by Sophos UTM/XG Firewalls, compressed archive backups from AOMEI EasyBackup, and mobile database backups created by the E2PDF Android app.
The main disadvantage of .EBF files is their highly proprietary nature. E-learning board files require a subscription or a specific application environment to play back the interactive lesson. Standard online video or document converters fail to process them because the interactive object data lacks a universal conversion standard. Furthermore, firewall backup files are heavily encrypted for security, making them impossible to open without the original hardware appliance and admin credentials.
Because this file format is difficult to open or convert directly, it often locks users into specific ecosystems and requires the original software to export data. However, under the hood, many .EBF files are actually standard ZIP or GZIP archives, or even SQLite databases.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EBF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EDF, EBQ, PDF, EBS, XML, EBP, EMF, ZIP, JPG, SBF, ASPX, WCFG and PMD files.

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 EBF converter.
