What is a VBL file

VBL files mostly belong to VirtualBox.

This file is used as a compressed resource container that can serve two purposes. One use is as a zipped icon file that holds small images for icons in VirtualBox. The file uses the ZIP format to package these icon resources so that they can be easily distributed and loaded in a virtual environment.

Another use of a VBL file is as a virtual CD image. In this role, the file acts like a disk image for virtual CD-ROM setups. It is sometimes known as a virtual CD library file and is handled by control panels or managers designed for virtual CD systems.

Zipped Icon File: Uses ZIP compression to store icons for virtual systems.
Virtual CD Image: Works as a disk image container for virtual CD content.

FilExt.com note: Both variants use the same VBL extension but require appropriate software to open and view them.
