Convert SB files online for free

The .SB file extension serves multiple distinct technical roles, most notably as the legacy project format for MIT Scratch 1.4 and source code for Microsoft Small Basic.
For Scratch users, an .SB file is an archive containing sprites, scripts, and media created in the older version of the software. The primary challenge is obsolescence; modern web-based Scratch (3.0) and current offline editors use the SB3 format. Opening old .SB files often requires the legacy Scratch 1.4 editor or a specialized conversion workflow to migrate the project to SB2 or SB3 for web compatibility. Users frequently convert these to EXE (executable) or .HTML5 to share games without requiring the editor, or to MP4 for video sharing.
In the context of Microsoft Small Basic, the .SB file is a plain text source code file designed for beginners. While readable, it requires the Small Basic IDE to compile. Users often convert this code to TXT for universal viewing or migrate it to Visual Basic (an .VB file) as they advance their programming skills.
Less commonly, .SB refers to Signed Byte raw audio data. These files lack headers (containing sample rate or channel info), making them unplayable in standard players like VLC. Converting raw .SB audio to WAV or MP3 is essential for listening and editing.

To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to SB, try MIT Scratch or another comparable tool in the "Scratch 1.4 Project File" 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 SB converter.
