Extract text from OpenBoard assets (OBA)
To convert OBA assets to another format, you need Google Android or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Bundled Asset File" file type, you need software like Google Android or a similar tool.
The .OBA file extension primarily represents an Android Offline Bundled Asset. Developers use this format to package application data - such as interface textures, audio files, and configuration scripts - so that Android applications can function without an active internet connection. Alternatively, this extension acts as an OpenBoard Asset, storing media components for the open-source interactive whiteboard software OpenBoard.
These files are inherently restricted and heavily disadvantageous for general users. Because they are highly specific to their parent applications, they are proprietary and closed containers. You cannot natively double-click them to view their contents on standard operating systems. Furthermore, they are completely unsupported by web browsers and often mask raw media inside a custom wrapper, meaning users are rarely meant to interact with them directly.
When users need to convert an .OBA file, the goal is typically asset extraction rather than traditional conversion. The best target formats are standard archive formats like ZIP or raw extracted media like PNG, JPG, or MP3. Standard online converters consistently fail to process .OBA files because they do not recognize the custom byte headers or directory indexing used by the specific app developer.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because only the original software possesses the exact logic required to parse the internal structure. Despite this closed nature, you can rely on our tools to bypass these limits. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible on convert.guru. We inspect the raw file signatures, and if our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - like a disguised ZIP archive - extraction and viewing become possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your OBA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TIVO, H4V and GVI 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 OBA converter.
