Extract text from disc image files (IXB)
To convert IXB disc images to another format, you need IsoBuster or other Disk Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Optical Disc Image" file type, you need software like IsoBuster or a similar tool.
The .IXB file extension primarily identifies a Disc Archiver image file, a proprietary format associated with ULX Systems and often handled by IsoBuster. Unlike standard ISO files, which are universally supported, IXB files are specialized containers used to replicate the structure of optical discs (CDs, DVDs) for archiving or burning purposes. Users frequently encounter these files when attempting to access legacy backups or disc images created with older software.
A secondary but notable use of the extension is as a Ulead Disc Image created by Corel software (formerly Ulead), such as DVD MovieFactory or Burn.Now. In this context, the file acts as a project index or a temporary image used during the disc authoring process.
A common problem for users is the lack of native support in modern operating systems; you cannot simply double-click an IXB file to mount it in Windows or macOS. To make these files usable, they must typically be converted into a standard format like ISO or BIN/CUE. For archiving and broad compatibility, converting to ISO is the industry standard. For extracting specific files without mounting, tools like IsoBuster are essential to parse the proprietary internal structure.
Convert.Guru analyzes your IXB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted UPX, UVR and IXA files.
If you want to convert IXB file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use IsoBuster or similar software from the "Disc Image Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to IXB, try IsoBuster or another comparable tool in the "Disc Image Archive" 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 IXB converter.
