About UBOX files

A .ubox file is a simulation data file created by Universe Sandbox, an interactive space and gravity simulator. It stores custom solar systems, celestial body parameters, velocities, and physics simulation states used to recreate specific cosmic events within the game. You must use Universe Sandbox to open, edit, and play the simulations contained in these files.

The .ubox format presents several disadvantages for general users. It is a strictly proprietary, closed format. It requires a paid license for the game to open and interact with the data. You cannot open it natively in a web browser, and standard office software cannot interpret the data. Because it contains highly specialized physics engine parameters, standard online converters fail to process or render these files.

There are no direct conversion targets like PDF or JPG for raw simulation data. If you need to share the simulation visually, the best approach is to open the .ubox file in the game and use screen recording software to capture an MP4 video or take a PNG screenshot.

Because this file format is difficult to open or convert, often only the original software can properly read or export the data.

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

The UBOX Converter Story

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 UBOX converter.
