The SB (Scratch Project Format) file format is a composition of projects designed by the Scratch platform. SB files are used to save projects created with the Scratch graphical programming language and editor, which is a tool designed to allow users to create interactive stories, animations, and video games. The file contains all the components to create the project, including sprites, sounds, background images, costumes, blocks, and recordings.

The SB file format is just one way projects created in Scratch can be distributed. Scratch also supports sharing projects as SWF or Flash files. Project files created in Scratch version 2.0 or later can only be read in programs using version 2.0 or later.
