What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "BSB") to another (referred to as "KAP"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, BSB file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format BSB to format KAP becomes essential.
So, how can we perform BSB to KAP file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format BSB and transforming it into format KAP.
