Extract text from Affiliate link files (LBC)
To convert LBC Link files to another format, you need Cloaked Affiliate Link Builder or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Affiliate Link Saved Data" file type, you need software like Cloaked Affiliate Link Builder or a similar tool.
The .LBC file format is a proprietary data file created by Cloaked Affiliate Link Builder, a legacy Windows utility developed by Curry K. Software. It is primarily used to store "cloaked" affiliate marketing links - URLs that are masked to look like standard web addresses in order to protect affiliate commissions. The file contains specific link settings, including the raw destination URL, the clean display text, and associated tracking codes.
The major disadvantage of this format is its severe vendor lock-in. Because the original software is largely obsolete and unsupported on modern operating systems like macOS or Linux, accessing your old affiliate links is highly frustrating. You cannot simply double-click an .LBC file or open it in a standard web browser. Without the original program, standard text editors may only show a mix of raw text and unreadable binary data.
If you need to recover the enclosed data, the best target formats are TXT (Plain Text), CSV (Comma-Separated Values) for spreadsheets, or JSON. Unfortunately, because it is a closed, proprietary format, typical online document converters will fail to process it. If our analysis detects readable URL strings or an embedded text structure, viewing or extracting your affiliate links may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LBC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert LBC file to HTML, HTM, CSS, JS, PHP, ASP, ASPX, JSP, JSPX, PY, RB or PL, you can use Cloaked Affiliate Link Builder or similar software from the "Affiliate Link Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

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 LBC converter.
