ArcSoft PhotoBase album
File type: Graphics file
A phb file extension identifies an album file created by ArcSoft PhotoBase.
The album stores references to pictures rather than the actual image data.
Found 7 different file type records with the same phb filename suffix.

ArcSoft PhotoBase was an older Microsoft Windows application for organising pictures in albums. ArcSoft PhotoStudio later succeeded it.
PHB files contain links to pictures rather than the actual graphic data. The referenced graphic files remain separate from the album file, so moving or deleting them can prevent the album from finding the pictures.
This is a legacy format associated with ArcSoft's Windows software, including ArcSoft PhotoBase and ArcSoft PhotoStudio.
On Microsoft Windows, open a phb file with ArcSoft PhotoBase. ArcSoft PhotoStudio is also associated with this format and may open the album.
The pictures referenced by the album must remain available at the locations recorded in the file.
A phb file is an album index rather than an image container, so it cannot be meaningfully converted into an image file.
To preserve the pictures, open the album in compatible ArcSoft software and export or copy the referenced images individually, if the program provides that option.

The phb file extension is associated with ClustalW2, a general-purpose multiple sequence alignment program developed by the European Bioinformatics Institute. ClustalW2 runs on Microsoft Windows.
A phb file contains tree information generated or used by ClustalW2 when analysing aligned biological sequences. The tree represents relationships between the sequences and forms part of the program's alignment and phylogenetic analysis data.
Open a phb file with ClustalW2 on Microsoft Windows. The file is intended for use by ClustalW2's tree and sequence-analysis functions rather than by a standard document viewer.
If ClustalW2 is not available, a phb file may not be usable directly in another application because the format is closely tied to ClustalW.
ClustalW2 can generate new tree data from the original sequence alignment, but this is regeneration rather than direct conversion of an existing phb file.
To obtain another tree format, use the original alignment or tree data with a bioinformatics application that supports the required output format.

The phb file extension was used by NewLeaf for phrasebook files. These files contain the phrases and related data used by the program.
NewLeaf and this file format appear to be old and no longer actively supported. Information about the format and its original platform is limited.
Open the phb file with NewLeaf, if a copy of that legacy program is available.
No reliable conversion tools are known for NewLeaf PhraseBook files. If NewLeaf can still open the file, use any export or copy options it provides to move the phrasebook data to another format.

The phb file extension is also used for a special embroidery format for Brother ULT range of sewing machines.
These files contain stored vector based embroidery data together with colors settings etc.
PHB format is supported in several embroidery programs.
Might be converted to other embroidery format.

PhoneB phonebook files store contact and telephone-directory information used by the PhoneB application.
PhoneB is no longer supported or available, and little reliable information about the format is available. File-Extensions.org research found no reliable internet resource describing the file type.
This entry was verified by the File-Extensions.org team.
Open a phb file with the PhoneB application that created it. Because PhoneB is no longer supported or available, a compatible copy of the original application may be difficult to find.
If the file can still be opened with PhoneB, use the application's own export function, if available.
Without compatible PhoneB software, reliable conversion may not be possible.

TreeView is an older application for displaying and drawing tree diagrams, including phylogenetic trees. It was available for macOS (OS X) and Microsoft Windows.
A phb file stores data for use in TreeView. It belongs to the application's own data format rather than being a general-purpose document format.
TreeView is legacy software, so the format is no longer widely used. Files may still be readable with a compatible Windows or macOS version of TreeView.
Open the file with TreeView on Microsoft Windows or with a compatible older macOS version. Install the application first, then use its Open command and select the PHB file.
Current software may not support this legacy format. If TreeView does not recognise the file, use the original application or a system capable of running it.
Open the file in TreeView and use any Save As or export options provided by that version to create another file.
If the file cannot be opened by TreeView, conversion may not be possible without access to compatible TreeView software.
