Extract text from EBS files
To convert your EBS file to another format, you need Absolute Database or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Single-file Relational Database" file type, you need software like Absolute Database or a similar tool.
The .EBS file extension is a multi-use container primarily associated with Absolute Database, a proprietary database format used in Delphi and C++ Builder applications. These files function as a compact, single-file replacement for the Borland Database Engine (BDE). While efficient for application developers due to high compression and encryption capabilities, they are a major headache for end-users who need to access the data outside the original software. You cannot simply open them in Microsoft Excel or standard SQL viewers. To extract tables, users typically need to convert these databases to CSV or standard SQL dumps using specialized export utilities or the original host application.
A secondary but increasingly popular use case is the EbSynth Project file. EbSynth is a tool for bringing paintings to animated life. The .EBS file here is not a video file; it is a project save state containing references to keyframes, video paths, and style mappings. Users often try to convert this file to MP4 or MOV because they cannot play it in media players like VLC. However, because the file only contains instructions rather than pixel data, it must be opened in EbSynth and rendered out to an image sequence (e.g., PNG) or video format.
Less commonly, .EBS files may be simulation models from EBSILON Professional (power plant cycle simulation) or experiment scripts from E-Prime (psychological research software). In these industrial and academic contexts, the files are strictly proprietary and usually require conversion to PDF reports or text-based logs for archiving.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EBS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EBSX, EBSDOC, EPS, EBSI, EBS3, EBF, PNG, PZF, XPR, NPF and EFS files.
If you want to convert EBS file to EFS, EXE, MSI, APP, DMG, DEB, RPM, PKG, RUN, SH, BAT or CMD, you can use Absolute Database or similar software from the "Embedded Database Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert JAR, APP, SCR, IPA, COM, AAB, PS1, DMG, VBS, EXE, XAPK or MSI files to EBS, try Absolute Database or another comparable tool in the "Embedded Database 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 EBS converter.
