What is a TBN file?

TBN files mostly belong to Kodi by XBMC. TBM is the filename extension of thumbnail files used to display or preview video clips, audio, or playlists in Kodi multimedia player. The TBN file is actually a low resolution JPEG file displayed as a preview for each video, image, audio file, or playlist in Kodi's media catalog. Kodi thumbnails have the same root name as the file they represent. So, if you have a movie with the filename Getting_Started.mp4, then Kodi is going to generate a corresponding Getting_Started.tbn thumbnail.

How to open TBN files

You need a suitable software like Kodi from XBMC to open a TBN file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your TBN file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TBN file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
