About SBG files

The .SBG extension primarily refers to a SBaGen Binaural Beat Script, a plain-text configuration file used by the open-source tool SBaGen. Unlike standard audio files like MP3 or WAV, an .SBG file does not contain recorded sound data. Instead, it contains lines of text code that instruct the SBaGen synthesizer which frequencies to generate in real-time to create binaural beats for brainwave entrainment (e.g., Theta for meditation or Beta for focus).

Because of this text-based architecture, users often deal with issues: you cannot open an .SBG file in standard media players like VLC or Windows Media Player, and they are useless on mobile devices without conversion. To listen to the session, the script must be "rendered" (converted) into a digital audio format. The standard workflow involves using the SBaGen command-line tool to export the .SBG instructions to a WAV file, which can then be compressed to MP3 for portability.

In a completely different context, .SBG files are occasionally found in the installation directories of the Fallout game series. In this scenario, the file is often just a standard JPEG image (JFIF format) that has been renamed with a proprietary extension to function as a background asset. These files can usually be opened simply by renaming the extension from .sbg to jpg.

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