What is an SB2 file

SB2 files mostly belong to Scratch by Scratch Developers. An SB2 file is a project saved in Scratch 2.0 format. An SB2 project is created by scratch. It comprises JSON-encoded project information, scripts, sound clips, costumes, images, and pen trails compressed into a single ZIP archive. Online and offline versions of Scratch may be used to create, edit, or export an SB2 project file. Another type of SB2 file is a heavy duty equipment serial number package downloaded from Serial Box website.

SB2 file format details:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. 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.
