About WBX files
The .WBX file extension primarily belongs to MikroTik WinBox, a popular utility used to administer MikroTik RouterOS devices. In this context, the file stores a managed address list or address book, allowing network administrators to quickly connect to various routers. Other software also uses the .WBX extension. It can be a dictionary pronunciation data file for Lingea Lexicon, a WEBENCH simulation design file (which is internally formatted as XML) by Texas Instruments, or an extension component for WYSIWYG Web Builder (which functions as a standard Windows EXE file). The primary disadvantage of .WBX files is their highly proprietary nature. A MikroTik address book file cannot be natively opened in standard spreadsheet software like XLSX or text editors. It is tightly bound to the WinBox application, making it difficult to share router connection details with colleagues who do not use the exact same tool. Similarly, Lingea and WYSIWYG Web Builder files are completely unusable outside their native environments. Users often want to convert these files to standard formats like CSV, TXT, or XML to extract IP addresses, credentials, or code snippets. Because .WBX serves multiple, disconnected software ecosystems, it is notoriously difficult to open or convert with generic online tools. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying format - like the XML structure of a WEBENCH file or text strings within an unencrypted address book - viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WBX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert WBX file to CDB, BAK, BACKUP, OLD, TMP, TEMP, ARC, ZIP, TAR, GZ, 7Z or RAR, you can use MikroTik WinBox or similar software from the "WinBox Address List Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SNAPSHOT, OLD, IMG, RESTORE, ISO, COPY, VMDK, TMP, VHD, BAK, ARCHIVE or BACKUP files to WBX, try MikroTik WinBox or another comparable tool in the "WinBox Address List Storage" category.
The WBX 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 WBX converter.
