Extract text from Game keybind files (KB)
To convert KB Keybinds to another format, you need Call of Duty or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Keybind Configuration File" file type, you need software like Call of Duty or a similar tool.
The .kb file extension represents multiple distinct file types, most commonly functioning as a Game Keybinds Configuration file for the Call of Duty video game franchise. In this context, it stores custom keyboard shortcuts mapped to specific in-game actions. Other prevalent uses include user-defined keyboard definition files for C-Pen devices, keyboard visualizer layouts for BlueStacks, and even password databases for KeePass or 1Password. Additionally, some .kb files are specialized packages containing SIEM knowledge base data compressed as ZIP archives, or user persona configurations on Apple systems formatted as PLIST.
Because .kb files are highly specialized settings or database formats, they are typically proprietary and tied to specific software. The main disadvantage is that these files are not universally readable. You cannot simply open a Call of Duty keybind file in a standard text editor if it is compiled in a binary format. Furthermore, KeePass .kb files are heavily encrypted databases requiring a master password, and SIEM packages are complex archives.
Users often attempt to convert .kb files to plain text formats like TXT, JSON, or XML to manually review, edit, or back up their settings. However, converting encrypted files like password databases will compromise their security or simply fail without the correct decryption credentials.
Converting a .kb file is difficult because standard online converters fail to recognize the underlying proprietary data structures. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Our platform can inspect the file, reveal text or internal content, and determine if it is a simple text-based configuration, a compressed ZIP archive, or an Apple PLIST file, enabling viewing or extraction when supported.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, JPG, JPEG, CAST OUT SIDE STATE, DOCX, MUCHULKA, OFFER LETTER, RECORDING, XLSX, SQLITE-SHM, PAGES, SQLITE-WAL and EML files.
If you want to convert KB file to MB, GB, JPG, BYTES, TB, PDF, MG, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML or YML, you can use Call of Duty or similar software from the "Keyboard Configuration Storage" 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 KB, try Call of Duty or another comparable tool in the "Keyboard Configuration 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 KB converter.
