About ICBU files

The ICBU file format, primarily associated with Apple s Contacts application, is used to store backups of contact data. While this format is useful for Apple users needing to restore contact information, it presents several challenges when you need to access or convert these files on non-Apple platforms.

ICBU files aren t directly readable by most software outside the Apple ecosystem, making conversion necessary. Popular desktop software options for conversion include Microsoft Outlook and Apple s own Contacts app on macOS, which can export contacts to more common formats such as VCF, CSV, and others.

Converting ICBU files can be complicated due to compatibility issues and the limitations of available software tools. Additionally, each conversion carries the risk of data loss or corruption, especially if the software doesn't fully support the ICBU format.

One of the drawbacks of using ICBU files is their lack of universality, making them less practical for users who switch between different operating systems. For these reasons, it s essential to convert ICBU files to more accessible formats like VCF or CSV. These are widely supported and ensure your contact information remains easily reachable.

To simplify this process, consider using the free and easy online service Convert.Guru. Simply drag-n-drop your ICBU files onto the Convert.Guru webpage, and quickly convert them to a variety of formats such as VCF, CSV, and more. This user-friendly approach ensures that you maintain the integrity of your data while making it accessible across different platforms.


The ICBU Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best ICBU converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
