What is a MYB file?

MYB files mostly belong to Apple Photos. MYB files can have multiple roles. One role is as a compressed Apple image bundle used by the Apple Photos app. These files are created as ZIP archives that store an iOS photo library and image data.
Another role is as a MyPaint brush file. In this case, the file contains JSON data that defines brush properties for the MyPaint application.
A further role is seen in backup files from the Moya Android app, where the file is compressed using GZIP.
Usage details:

32%: ZIP archive for an Apple image bundle.

30%: JSON-based MyPaint brush file.

10%: GZIP archive for Android backup data.

FilExt.com tip: Examining the file header with a hex editor can reveal which internal format is used. Different tools (archive extractors or text editors) are needed depending on the format.
