What is a SB file?

The .SB file extension is most often a Scratch Project File. MIT created Scratch to help beginners learn programming. These files store visual code blocks, sprites, sounds, and background images for interactive stories and games.

Other Types of SB Files

Because the .SB extension is short, many different programs use it. It can contain source code for Microsoft Small Basic. It can be game data, save files, or audio banks for Electronic Arts (EA) games and the Frostbite Engine. It can also be a software module for Slax Linux, an Indian Customs Shipping Bill, a Unity game asset bundle, or oceanographic data for the NASA SeaBASS archive.

How to open SB files?

To open a Scratch Project File, upload it directly to the Scratch website or use the offline editor. For Small Basic code, you must use the official editor. For game data, the game engine usually reads the file automatically. Because .SB has multiple possible meanings, we recommend using viewer.online/sb to identify the actual format of your file.

Best practices and software

If you do not know the source of your .SB file, do not guess the software. viewer.online/sb analyzes .SB files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it. If you need a different format, you can convert your file to sensible target formats like .ZIP, .TXT, or .MP3 on convert.guru.

Summary

viewer.online/sb directly opens and previews .SB files in the browser, eliminating the need to install software or troubleshoot compatibility issues.
