What is a WBD file?

WBD files mostly belong to Webshots Desktop Connect by Threefold. WBD is the filename extension of images stored in the proprietary graphics format used by Webshots Desktop Connect wallpaper and screensaver application. Images saved in WBD format use application/x-webshot Internet media type. Whiteboard files used by whiteboard projection and video conferencing programs such as Blackboard Collaborate, eBeam Whiteboard, and Softlink also have WBD filename extension. The WBD files created by Softlink classroom management software have application/x-softlink-whiteboard Internet media type. A third type of WBD file is associated with a data file format used to store circuit schematics used by WinBreadboard electronic circuit simulation software. WBD filename extension is also associated with an obsolete database file format used by Works, a discontinued office productivity software suite.

WBD file format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the WBD files produces the following result:

WBD is seldom used as a file extension and predominantly uses a uniform format. The two most common formats are as follows:

75% of all WBD files are Softlink Whiteboard data files, which are based on the XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The contents of these files are easily readable with a text editor. The files are 120 KB to 9 MB in size, with a median of 3 MB. It is a modern file type. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, <Whiteboard>, generatedName, <presentersnote slidename="" notes="" />, false, <screen size="1014,835", <alttext AlternateText="" />, true and name="Public Page". Files like these have the following tags: slides, week, review and unit.

The remaining 25% of all WBD files are files with no common format. These files are often connected to project. If you want to find out which format your WBD file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .wbd file to analyze".
