What is a DKB file?

DKB files mostly belong to WinZip.

The DKB file extension is used in more than one way. It may store data as a ZIP compressed disk image, contain a Kodak image file, or serve as a knowledge base for Doctus Knowledge Builder.
Uses:

ZIP Disk Image: The file acts as a disk image wrapped in ZIP format. You can open it with tools like WinZip.

Kodak Image File: The file can hold a JPEG image. This format is linked with software such as Photoshop 3.0 and Kodak EasyShare.

Knowledge Base File: The file may also be created by Doctus Knowledge Builder to store structured information.

To open a DKB file, identify its internal structure. For a ZIP-based disk image, use a decompression utility. For a Kodak image, an image viewer will work. For a Doctus knowledge base file, use the Doctus Knowledge Builder application.

FilExt.com note: The same extension does not guarantee a similar file format. Check the file’s contents before choosing an application.

How do you open DKB files?

You need a suitable software like WinZip to open a DKB 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 DKB file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a DKB file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
