Extract text from StarCraft II bank files (SC2BANK)
To convert SC2BANK bank files to another format, you need StarCraft II or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Save File" file type, you need software like StarCraft II or a similar tool.
The .SC2BANK file is a custom game save file used by StarCraft II. It stores persistent player data, such as experience points, unlocked items, and statistics for custom Arcade maps and mods. Internally, the file uses a standard XML structure to define keys and values. The format is heavily utilized by mapmakers to ensure player progression carries over between sessions.
While functional within the game ecosystem, .SC2BANK files are restrictive. The native game provides no built-in export or parsing tools to analyze player statistics outside of the client. Because the extension is proprietary, most standard file converters fail to recognize it. Furthermore, competitive custom maps often implement cryptographic signatures within the bank file to prevent tampering, meaning any unauthorized edit will corrupt the save or flag the user.
If you need to analyze, modify, or share the data, you must convert the file. The best target formats are XML, TXT, or JSON. Converting to XML preserves the exact tag structure, while JSON makes it easier to parse the data for external web applications or leaderboards.
This file format is difficult to process with standard tools because it is technically a proprietary game asset. However, convert.guru provides a pragmatic solution. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Since our analysis detects the underlying XML text format, viewing the raw data or converting it to a standard text-based format is fast and reliable.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SC2BANK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 SC2BANK converter.
