About SB files

The .SB file extension is most commonly a project file created by Scratch 1.4, a visual programming language developed by MIT. It stores sprites, scripts, sounds, and background images used in interactive animations. Alternatively, it serves as a highly compressed Superbundle or audio sound bank in Electronic Arts games using the Frostbite Engine, or as plain text source code for Microsoft Small Basic.

The original .SB Scratch format is severely outdated. Modern web browsers block the Java and Flash technologies it historically relied on, and the Scratch platform has since migrated entirely to SB2 and SB3. Opening legacy .SB files often requires hunting down legacy desktop software. Meanwhile, game data .SB files are proprietary binary archives that lock audio and 3D assets away from standard media players, making them impossible to open natively without specialized reverse-engineering tools.

To make a legacy Scratch project usable on the modern web, convert it to HTML5 or upgrade it to SB3. If you need to access Frostbite game audio, you must extract the internal sound banks and convert them to standard MP3 or WAV formats. For Small Basic scripts, converting the file to TXT makes the code instantly readable on any device.

The SB Converter Story

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.
