What is a CLB file?

A .CLB file is a data or settings file that has multiple possible uses. Most commonly, it is a LightBurn Material Library created by LightBurn Software. These files store laser cutting and engraving settings. Another common use is a COM+ Catalog File managed by Microsoft Windows. A .CLB file might also be a diagnostic label file for Volkswagen or Audi vehicles used by Ross-Tech VCDS, a game resource library for Age of Wonders by Triumph Studios, or a contact list from ICQ.

How to open CLB files?

Because the .CLB extension has multiple meanings, you must know which program created your file. You can open a LightBurn material library inside the LightBurn application. A COM+ Catalog File is a system file that Microsoft Windows uses internally, so you should not edit it manually. Car diagnostic files must be opened using specific ECU reading tools.

Identify your file with viewer.online

If you do not know the origin of your file, viewer.online/clb analyzes .CLB files to identify their exact format and creator software. It shows which programs can open the file and usually previews it.

Summary

Because many .CLB files use the known XML format, viewer.online/clb can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems.
