About PBX files

The .PBX file extension is a multi-purpose container primarily associated with Pasko Basket Coach, a specialized software tool used by coaches to design and simulate basketball plays. These files utilize an XML-based structure to store court diagrams, player movements, and drill sequences. The key problem for users is the proprietary nature of the format; players and assistant coaches cannot view the drills without purchasing a license for the Pasko software. To share these plays effectively, the best workflow is converting the .PBX source into a widely accessible PDF for printing in playbooks, or JPG/PNG images for digital distribution on mobile devices.

In enterprise development environments, a .PBX file often functions as a PowerBuilder Extension. Developed by Appeon (formerly Sybase), these are compiled binary files (similar to DLLs) written in C++ that extend the functionality of PowerBuilder applications. These cannot be "converted" in the traditional sense; attempting to open them in a text editor will result in garbled binary data. Less common variations include Bio-Rad Bio-Plex assay protocols used in life sciences and Siemens Simcenter Prescan experiments (often GZIP compressed).

Convert.Guru analyzes your PBX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted PBIX, GALLERYITEM, PSF and VRM files.
