The SB (Scratch Project File) file extension is used by Scratch, a visual programming language developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The SB file format contains code and sprites for programs developed with Scratch. Each project is saved as an SB file, which can be edited or shared with other users who has Scratch or the Scratch source code editor installed.
Technical Details of an SB File
The SB file format is stored in a binary file format containing data such as the code and sprites used in a project. These files are stored in a compressed form to reduce the file size and make them easier to share. SB files also contain metadata about the project, such as its version, the creators and assets used within the program. The Scratch project file structure consists of seven sections containing specific data used by the software.
Compatibility
SB files can only be opened and edited with Scratch or with the Scratch source code editor. It is not possible to open them with other programs like text editors. Alternatives to the SB format include SB2, SBM, and .SBX.

Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
