About XTB files

The .XTB file extension serves several highly specialized and disconnected functions. Primarily, it acts as an XML Translation Bundle utilized by Chromium and Angular projects to store localized text strings for applications. Alternatively, it functions as a proprietary Game Data Table file, storing text and logic parameters for video games like Xenoblade Chronicles (Monolith Soft) and various Sonic titles. In niche engineering fields, it operates as a Plot Parameter Title Block within 12d Model software or as a toolbar configuration file for X-Plane. Because the .XTB format is heavily fragmented and often proprietary, users encounter strict limits. Translation bundles require exact XML schema validation, meaning a single typo can break a software build. Game data files are frequently compiled into binary structures, making them unreadable in standard text editors and impossible to open in spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel without specialized community unpackers. Converting .XTB files to standard formats like XML, JSON, or CSV is essential for practical editing, localization, or game modding. However, standard online converters fail to process them because they lack the distinct parsing algorithms needed for Chromium's specific XML dialect or proprietary video game binary tables. This is a closed, highly fragmented file format landscape. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Even when an original software environment is required to export the data perfectly, convert.guru can inspect the internal byte structure. If our analysis detects supported underlying XML or embedded text configurations, viewing or conversion may still be seamlessly executed.

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

Users also converted STX, TFM and AWP files.

The XTB 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 XTB converter.
