What is a BS file?

BS files mostly belong to Bizerba BS Card Designer. BS files are not a single file type. They have many uses depending on their origin.
For instance, one version is used by Bizerba BS Card Designer and stores card design data in a compressed (ZIP) archive.
Another version is used by Banco Sabadell Online Banking to hold statement data in HTML format.
Other BS files include game-related data such as a Baldur’s Gate save file or binary skeleton files from game engines, and script files for software like BetaScript, UniCenta oPOS, or ibisPaint brush settings.
A BS file may even be a renamed PDF or a technical document like a bikeshed specification (more info).
Key details provided by FilExt.com:
  • Bizerba card design: stores design data using ZIP format. See Bizerba.
  • Banco Sabadell files: use HTML and are viewed with a web browser, as explained on the Banco Sabadell Online Banking page.
  • Game and script data: include save files, game engine skeletons, and scripting code for POS systems or digital art apps.
  • Other uses: involve printer build settings and technical specifications.

    Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature.

If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. In the following you will find our evaluation of the BS files:
