About SBC files

An .SBC file typically serves one of three distinct functions: a Bluetooth Sub-band Audio Codec file, an XML blueprint for the Space Engineers PC game, or a JSON-based Android contacts backup created by Super Backup & Restore. The audio variant is a Low Complexity Subband Codec used as the mandatory baseline standard for the Bluetooth A2DP profile. The game variant contains ship blueprints and world save data. The backup variant stores a phone's address book.

These formats share a common problem: poor out-of-the-box compatibility. Raw .SBC audio files lack container headers, meaning standard media players like Windows Media Player or Apple QuickTime cannot play them. The audio itself is lossy and heavily compressed. Meanwhile, Space Engineers blueprints often exceed 100MB, easily crashing basic text editors like Notepad. Super Backup contact files are proprietary; you cannot natively import an .SBC backup into an iPhone or Microsoft Outlook without parsing the JSON structure first.

You must convert these files to make them practical. For Bluetooth audio streams, convert to MP3 for universal web playback or WAV for audio editing without adding further compression artifacts. For Android contact backups, convert to VCF (vCard) or CSV so they can be easily imported into Google Contacts or iCloud. For game data, convert to XML to enable syntax highlighting in code editors. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.
