Extract text from Xbench projects (XBP)
To convert XBP projects to another format, you need ApSIC Xbench or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration Project File" file type, you need software like ApSIC Xbench or a similar tool.
The .xbp extension is a classic example of a "filename collision," where multiple distinct industries use the same three letters for entirely different purposes. Most commonly, you are dealing with a Xiaomi Support Package for the Ultimate Multi Tool (UMT) (25% market share), which is a binary firmware container used by technicians to flash or repair Android devices. These files are strictly proprietary and require a hardware dongle to execute.
However, in the localization industry, .xbp serves as an ApSIC Xbench Project file (17%). These are actually XML text files that store Quality Assurance (QA) settings, terminology lists, and file references for translation projects. The friction here is that while the data is technically open (XML), users without ApSIC Xbench installed cannot visualize the QA parameters or export the glossaries to usable formats like CSV or XLSX.
Another significant variation is the BusinessOptix process model (19%), used for enterprise diagramming. These files, often found in corporate environments, lock critical business logic and workflows into a format that standard viewers like Microsoft Visio cannot open. Finally, if the file is large and binary but not phone firmware, it might be a BlueBotics ANT deployment package (11%), which is often just a renamed ZIP archive.
Best Conversion Targets:
Convert.Guru analyzes your XBP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted VTK, GED and CMBL files.
If you want to convert XBP file to JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO, RS or SWIFT, you can use ApSIC Xbench or similar software from the "Translation QA & Phone Firmware" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to XBP, try ApSIC Xbench or another comparable tool in the "Translation QA & Phone Firmware" 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 XBP converter.
