IMB file format details:
To view or edit IMB files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the IMB files produces the following result:
IMB is rarely used as a file extension and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The following file formats are most commonly found in IMB files:
- 35% of all IMB files are using the well-known GZIP file format to store the data. Gzip is a compressed archive file format. Gzip (GNU zip) is only capable of compressing a single file. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. The files are often between 1 MB and 3 GB in size. The file type was created 10 years ago, but is still used today. A common filename is -2020-06-01 10-30.imb.
- 8% of all IMB files are based on the popular plist file format. A property list file is a structured text file that contains user's settings or macOS apps configuration. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are often between 21 KB and 120 KB in size. The keywords bplist00, NSKeyedArchiver, Troot and X$versionY$archiverT$topX$objects are typical for these files.
The remaining 57% of all IMB files are files with no common format. Files like these are sometimes linked to address, book, font, contacts or temp. You can get all the details of your IMB file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .imb file to analyze" above.
