Extract text from Configuration and data files (WBR)
To convert WBR Data files to another format, you need LightBar Designer or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration & Estimation Files" file type, you need software like LightBar Designer or a similar tool.
The .WBR file format serves multiple, entirely distinct purposes depending on the software that created it. It is most commonly used as a vehicle lightbar configuration file for Whelen hardware, a construction cost estimate file generated by Wikells Byggberäkningar, or a digital drawing file from Microsoft Whiteboard.
To interact with these files, you generally need highly specialized software such as Whelen LightBar Designer, WinBIM, or Microsoft Whiteboard. The primary disadvantage of the .WBR extension is extreme fragmentation and vendor lock-in. Because the same file extension is shared by emergency vehicle hardware systems, Swedish construction software, and digital drawing applications, standard operating systems usually have no idea how to handle it. Furthermore, these files are often proprietary containers that restrict your data to a specific software ecosystem.
Conversion targets depend heavily on the underlying file type. If the .WBR file contains whiteboard drawings, you may want to extract the internal JSON data or convert it to standard image formats like PNG or JPG. For construction cost files, exporting the raw text or converting to CSV or XLSX is best. However, direct conversion is challenging because these files lack a universal standard. Only the original software contains the exact logic needed to correctly read and export the data.
Standard online converters fail to process .WBR files because they do not know which variant of the format they are dealing with. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our platform analyzes the file signature to detect if it is secretly a compressed ZIP archive, a NET serialized object, or raw JSON text, giving you a pragmatic way to access your locked data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WBR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DTF, KWI and EXTRA files.
If you want to convert WBR file to MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WMA, M4A, AIFF, OPUS, ALAC, APE or WV, you can use LightBar Designer or similar software from the "Configuration & Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MIDI, AAC, TTA, AU, WV, DTS, MID, FLAC, RA, MP3, PCM or WAV files to WBR, try LightBar Designer or another comparable tool in the "Configuration & Data Storage" 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 WBR converter.
