Extract text from IncrediBots challenges (IBCH)
To convert IBCH challenges to another format, you need IncrediBots or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Level Data File" file type, you need software like IncrediBots or a similar tool.
The .ibch file is an IncrediBots Challenge File used by the 2D physics-based web game IncrediBots. These files store custom level geometry, physics constraints, win conditions, and mechanical bot data created by players.
This format is exclusively managed by the IncrediBots game engine. Because the original game relied heavily on the now-obsolete Adobe Flash platform, opening these files today typically requires a Flash emulation or preservation environment like Flashpoint.
Users often attempt to convert .ibch files because the format is highly restrictive. It is proprietary, closed-source, and entirely useless outside of the native game environment. You cannot double-click an .ibch file to open it on a standard operating system, and it is entirely unsupported by modern web browsers.
Directly converting an .ibch file to an image like JPG or video like MP4 is impossible. The file contains serialized mathematical physics coordinates, not rendered graphics. The most realistic conversion targets are TXT or XML to extract raw parameter data, or ZIP for compressed sharing. If you need a video of the challenge, you must load the file into the game and capture your screen.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because only the original software can properly read or export the mechanical data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your IBCH file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 IBCH converter.
