What is an SXB file?

SXB files mostly belong to Elsword. Use Case 1: Game Localization: This SXB file is often a localized string game data file used by games to store the text for menus, dialogues, and other in‐game messages. Companies such as Elsword, String Extractor, and Sword of the New World use these files to support multiple languages.

If the file belongs to a game, it is meant to be read by the game engine and not edited manually.

Use Case 2: Application Settings Backup
Some SXB files work as backups for application settings. For example, ShareX saves its configuration in this format using a ZIP container.

If you see a SXB file from ShareX, try renaming it with a .zip extension and use a ZIP extractor to view its contents.
