SBX is a compressed .AI file format, used by Adobe Illustrator, an image editing and drawing program for Windows and macOS platforms. .AI files are vector graphics documents generically used to save illustrations or drawings of any kind. Compressed .AI files end with the ".sbx" extension, which stands for "Small Big X". They are created by Illustrator’s ‘Save a Copy’ command feature, which reduces the .AI file size by removing borders, paths, any embedded raster images, and flattening transparency objects.
The size reduction helps to move the .AI files faster onnections; make them amenable to emailing; and reduce storage requirements. The resultant .SBX documents look the same as the original .AI files when opened in Illustrator. However, they may not be opened in other vector editing programs such as CorelDRAW and–Xara. Moreover, they can not be opened in most other image viewing programs either. It must be noted that although the .SBX reduce file size, they forego layers, objects, art board information, printer output resolution settings, type tool templates, and blend settings found in corresponding .AI files.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SBX) 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 .SBX 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 .SBX 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 .SBX 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 .SBX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SBX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SBX 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 .SBX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SBX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SBX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
