What is an SBS file?
An .SBS file is most commonly a Substance Package source graph created by Adobe Substance 3D Designer (originally developed by Allegorithmic). It stores node-based instructions to generate procedural 3D materials and textures. Because it saves mathematical instructions rather than fixed pixel data, the file remains small and highly editable.
However, the .SBS extension is used by several other applications. It can be a text message backup file created by Android apps like Super Backup & Restore. It can also act as an audio sound bank file for games using Wwise, a 3D printer build file from Asiga Composer, or a payroll data file from SBS Lohn plus.
How to open SBS files?
To open a 3D material .SBS file, you need Adobe Substance 3D Designer. If your file is an SMS text backup, you should import it into your mobile phone using the original Android backup application.
Because an .SBS file has multiple possible meanings, we recommend using viewer.online/sbs to identify the actual format of your file.
Inspecting files with viewer.online
viewer.online/sbs analyzes .SBS files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.
Because .SBS files use the known XML format for 3D materials (and JSON for text message backups), viewer.online/sbs can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems.
