Extract text from STB files
To convert your STB file to another format, you need AutoCAD or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "Plot Style Table" file type, you need software like AutoCAD or a similar tool.
The .stb extension covers three distinct file types, creating frequent confusion. Most commonly in professional settings, it is an AutoCAD Named Plot Style Table used to define line colors, weights, and dithering for printing. Unlike CTB files (which map styles by color), .stb files allow users to assign style names directly to layers or objects. However, this causes compatibility friction when sharing DWG files with teams using the older color-dependent workflow.
Secondly, .stb is widely used in gaming as a binary data container, specifically for The Binding of Isaac (Stage Binary) and Star Wars: The Old Republic (String Table). These files lock game assets - like room layouts or text - into a non-human-readable format that requires specialized unpacking tools to edit.
Thirdly, in the medical field, it functions as a proprietary dental X-ray image format generated by Carestream Dental software, often requiring conversion to JPG or DICOM for patient portability.
For AutoCAD users, the primary goal is converting .stb to CTB to fix plotting mismatches. For gamers, it is converting the binary table to XML for modding.
Convert.Guru analyzes your STB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CTB, STP, MSO, ANM2, CSB, BMF, BBL and SCF files.
If you want to convert STB file to CTB, BBL, SCF, INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML or TOML, you can use AutoCAD or similar software from the "AutoCAD Plot Style & Game Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to STB, try AutoCAD or another comparable tool in the "AutoCAD Plot Style & Game Data" category.
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 STB converter.
