Extract text from Discord bot files (ZBT)
To convert ZBT bot files to another format, you need Visual Studio Code or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Bot Source Code" file type, you need software like Visual Studio Code or a similar tool.
A .ZBT file contains the raw source code for a custom Discord bot developed by the company Zbots Bots. It typically stores the Python-based programming instructions required to perform automated tasks, moderate content, or reward active members on a Discord server. Because the file consists of plain text, it can be opened and edited using standard source code editors like Microsoft Visual Studio Code or Notepad++.
Despite containing standard code, the proprietary .ZBT file extension presents several practical disadvantages. The format is unrecognized by default operating system associations, causing frustrating "Cannot open this file" errors for standard users. Furthermore, a .ZBT file inherently lacks the required authorization token to run the bot independently; it is merely a code template. Sharing this file with other developers often leads to confusion, as many Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) will not automatically apply Python syntax highlighting to an unknown .ZBT file.
To bypass these limits, the best conversion targets are PY (Python script) or standard text formats like TXT and MD. Converting to PY restores full IDE compatibility and syntax highlighting with absolutely no data loss.
Because the extension is obscure, automated standard converters frequently fail to process it, mistakenly categorizing the file as proprietary binary data. Our platform will inspect the internal structure, expose the raw Python content, and allow you to instantly save it as a universally recognized script.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ZBT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 ZBT converter.
