Extract text from MYB files
To convert your MYB file to another format, you need Mylio Photos or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "Media Archive" file type, you need software like Mylio Photos or a similar tool.
The .myb extension represents a filename collision between three distinct software ecosystems, creating significant confusion for users trying to open them. Most commonly (approx. 37%), a .myb file is a Mylio Photos bundle. These are essentially container files - often standard ZIP archives - used to package photos, videos, and metadata for synchronization between devices. The primary problem here is proprietary lock-in; while the data inside is standard (e.g., JPG, MOV), the .myb wrapper prevents your OS from previewing or indexing the content without Mylio Photos installed. Users typically convert these to ZIP to extract their original media without needing the specific management software.
Alternatively, roughly 30% of .myb files are MyPaint brush presets. Unlike the media bundles, these are lightweight JSON text files defining brush physics (radius, opacity, hardness) for the open-source MyPaint application. Users looking to "convert" these often want to view the brush parameters in a text editor (TXT) or migrate the settings to other raster editors like Adobe Photoshop, though direct compatibility is rare due to different brush engines. Finally, a smaller subset serves as compressed backups (GZIP) for the Moya Content Management System.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MYB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ALBUMMETADATA, FACEMETADATA and THUMBNAILCONFIGURATION files.
If you want to convert MYB file to DB, SQLITE, SQLITE3, MDB, ACCDB, DBF, ODB, FDB, GDB, MYD, FRM or SQL, you can use Mylio Photos or similar software from the "Photo Bundle & Brush Settings" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert NDF, SQLITE3, BAK, RDB, SQL, DB4, MDF, MDB, LDF, DB, DB3 or SQLITE files to MYB, try Mylio Photos or another comparable tool in the "Photo Bundle & Brush Settings" 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 MYB converter.
