Extract text from Link builder settings files (LBU)
To convert LBU Settings files to another format, you need Cloaked Affiliate Link Builder or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Affiliate Link Configuration" file type, you need software like Cloaked Affiliate Link Builder or a similar tool.
An .LBU file is a proprietary configuration file created by Cloaked Affiliate Link Builder, a legacy software utility developed by Curry K. Software. Affiliate marketers use these files to mask and manage affiliate tracking URLs, keeping the referral codes hidden on modern web browsers.
This format presents significant disadvantages. Because it is a closed, proprietary settings format, users are severely restricted. You cannot open, view, or edit these files natively on a mobile device or a standard web browser. The data is locked inside an outdated desktop application. If you switch to a different operating system or the software becomes obsolete, you lose access to your link database.
The most practical conversion targets are plain text (TXT), comma-separated values (CSV), or XML. Converting the file allows you to extract the raw affiliate links and migration data, though specific software settings and proprietary cloaking parameters will be lost during the extraction.
This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert because its internal structure is undocumented. Standard online converters fail to process it because they expect common document types, not obscure software configurations. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LBU file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SRV, MDR and ACU 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 LBU converter.
