What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "PCB") to another (referred to as "DBLIB"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, PCB 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 PCB to format DBLIB becomes essential.
So, how can we perform PCB to DBLIB 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 PCB and transforming it into format DBLIB. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of PCB to DBLIB converters.

How to convert the PCB file to DBLIB?
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of PCB to DBLIB. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the PCB file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file PCB, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the PCB file to the application
- Select the output format of the DBLIB file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file DBLIB on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted DBLIB file that can be found in the location selected in step 4

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
