Extract text from game scripts (JSB)
To convert JSB scripts to another format, you need Cocos Creator or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Script Binary" file type, you need software like Cocos Creator or a similar tool.
The .JSB file format is most frequently encountered as a compiled script or binary data file in various video games and accessibility software. Its primary uses include storing game engine script binaries for titles like Football Manager, FIFA, and Black Desert Online. It is also heavily used by the Cocos2d-x engine and Cocos Creator as compiled JavaScript bundles. Additionally, .JSB files serve as compiled script binaries for the JAWS (Job Access With Speech) screen reader by Freedom Scientific, helping automate complex software interactions for visually impaired users.
The main disadvantage of the .JSB format is its heavily proprietary and compiled nature. Because these files are generated specifically for a target game engine or application, they are not intended for human readability. They are closed, binary formats that prevent standard text editors or web browsers from reading the underlying code. Gamers looking to mod their games, or developers trying to debug scripts, often hit a wall because the files are packed, occasionally encrypted, and lack public documentation. Attempting to open a .JSB file in a standard editor will usually result in garbled text and a frozen application.
Converting a .JSB file is inherently difficult. You cannot easily convert it into a standard JS (JavaScript) or TXT file without a dedicated decompiler specific to the software that originally created it. For JAWS scripts, you need the original JSS source file to make edits, as the .JSB is purely the compiled output. For video games, specialized modding community tools are required to unpack or decompile the binaries into readable formats. Standard online converters fail to process these files because they lack the proprietary decryption keys or engine-specific parsers. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your JSB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CSB, CCBI and CCZ 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 JSB converter.
