What is a WBR file?

WBR files mostly belong to WinBIM/LightBar Designer/Microsoft Whiteboard. WBR files are not a single type of file. Their content depends on the application that created them.

Project file (ZIP-based): These files store construction cost estimates and project data. They use an internal ZIP format and are created by companies like WinBIM or as Kalkyl zip-based project files by Kalkyl Pro. Renaming the file extension to .zip may allow you to extract and view the contained documents.

Configuration file (.NET-based): In this case, WBR files keep settings for lightbar systems. They follow a .NET structure and are handled by software such as LightBar Designer or Whelen LightDesigner. Additional details are available on the Whelen website.

Whiteboard data file (JSON-based): Here, the file contains data from digital whiteboards. The data is stored in a JSON format and used by applications like Microsoft Whiteboard (or via tools like Excalidraw). For more information, visit the Microsoft Whiteboard page.

FilExt.com tip: Though these files share the same extension, each has a distinct structure. Checking the file header or trying to open it with the application that created it is the best way to determine its true purpose.

How do you open WBR files?

You need a suitable software like WinBIM/LightBar Designer/Microsoft Whiteboard to open a WBR file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your WBR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a WBR file directly in the browser:.

WBR file format:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. In the following you will find our evaluation of the WBR files:

WBR is rarely used as a file extension and includes various formats for various programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

20% of all WBR files are based on the zip format, so several files are compressed and saved in one WBR file. 1 to 2 compressed files are common. File names are e.g. Kalkyl.xml. A little tip: If you rename the file extension to .zip and then double-click, you will see the included files and images. Most of these files are 12 KB to 41 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: Kalkyl.xml. Files like these have the following tags: kalkyl.
20% of all WBR files internally utilize the .NET file format. The .NET format is used to save Microsoft .NET Framework objects to a file (ex. save game state as file) via object serialization. Such a .NET object may contain functions and data like settings, images or videos. The content also consists of readable text fragments, which can be viewed with the help of a text editor. Most of these files are 22 KB to 81 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, Version, ALightBar, BLightHead and IMountingBrackets.

All the rest of the WBR files (60%) have different formats, often, for example, JSON. Files like these are sometimes linked to nlhj, whiteboard or suunto. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your WBR file!
