Extract text from call log backups (SBL)
To convert SBL call logs to another format, you need Super Backup & Restore or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Application Data File" file type, you need software like Super Backup & Restore or a similar tool.
The .SBL file is a highly fragmented file extension that serves multiple distinct purposes depending on the software that created it. Most commonly, it functions as a call log backup file used by Android utility apps like Super Backup & Restore. However, it is also widely deployed as a SongBook list file by Korg Arranger Keyboards, a scrapbook layout template by Shutterfly, a game session file in Space Engineers, and a symbol library in Bluebeam Revu.
The main disadvantage of the .SBL format is its complete lack of standardization. It is heavily siloed. A single .SBL file might contain raw JSON text, structured XML data, or act as a compressed ZIP container for EEG session recordings. Users face immense frustration because the file extension alone gives no clear indication of its internal structure. Operating systems cannot open these files natively, and sharing raw .SBL backup files with third parties usually results in unreadable data. Standard online converters frequently fail to process .SBL files because they rely on the file extension to dictate the conversion path. When a single extension has over eight conflicting definitions, basic converters simply crash or output corrupted files.
To make this data usable, users typically need to convert JSON-based .SBL call logs into CSV for spreadsheet analysis or PDF for secure archiving and printing.
Because this file format is inherently difficult to parse, often only the original software can properly read or export the data. Our engine looks past the extension to inspect the internal file signature. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - like JSON, XML, or ZIP - we can extract the contents so viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SBL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SBD, AGS, VTR and IMS files.

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 SBL converter.
