i2 iBase data

File type: Various data file

An ibs file contains data used by i2 iBase, a database and investigative analysis application for Microsoft Windows.

The file is associated with an iBase database and is intended for use by i2 iBase rather than as a stand-alone document.

Found 3 different file type records with the same ibs filename suffix.

What is ibs file?

File type category:
Various data file

Date updated: October 12, 2026

The ibs file extension is associated with i2 iBase. An ibs iBase file stores data used internally by the application.

i2 iBase is database software and an investigative analysis tool. It works with structured information for investigative analysis, and the IBS format forms part of the data used by an iBase database.

The format is proprietary and is intended for i2 iBase on Microsoft Windows. It is not designed for direct use in general-purpose database or text applications.

How to open ibs file?

Open the ibs file from the relevant iBase database using i2 iBase on Microsoft Windows.

Because the file is internal iBase data, use it with i2 iBase rather than as a stand-alone document.

How to convert ibs file?

Open the associated database in i2 iBase and use its data export features, if available, to produce a format supported by the required application.

Do not rename the file extension as a conversion method, since this does not change the data format.

IBIS data

File type category:
Various data file

Date updated: October 12, 2026

IBIS is a standard for describing the analog behavior of the input and output buffers used by digital devices. An ibs file can contain electrical characteristics such as current-voltage and voltage-time data, together with information about pins, models, and package parasitics.

IBIS files are ASCII-text files and are commonly used in the semiconductor industry for signal-integrity and circuit simulation. The standard is maintained by the IBIS Open Forum, and the format remains in use.

IBIS Editor for Microsoft Windows can be used to view, edit, and check IBIS data. The file is a model-data file rather than a document intended for general-purpose text editing.

How to open ibs file?

On Microsoft Windows, open the ibs file with IBIS Editor. The file is plain text, so a text editor can display its contents, but it may not interpret or validate the IBIS data.

How to convert ibs file?

An IBIS file usually does not need conversion: it is already a text-based simulation model in a defined standard format. Use IBIS Editor to edit the model and save the resulting IBIS data as an ibs file.

Conversion to another model format is not generally a simple file-format conversion. If another simulator requires a different format, an equivalent model normally has to be supplied or created for that simulator.

IncrediBar skin file

File type category:
Settings, options, themes or skins file

Date updated: September 27, 2026

IncrediBar was developed by Perion, the company also associated with IncrediMail. An IBS file contains a customized appearance, or skin, for the IncrediBar toolbar.

The file is intended to be installed through IncrediBar rather than opened as a standalone document. It belongs to the toolbar's skin system and is not a general-purpose image or theme file.

IncrediBar is obsolete and was replaced by IncrediMail Toolbar. As a result, IBS files are mainly relevant to older installations that still support the original product.

How to open ibs file?

Use the original IncrediBar software to install an IBS file as a toolbar skin. The file is not intended to be opened as a document in a text editor or image viewer.

Because IncrediBar is obsolete, a current system may not have software that can apply the skin. A compatible older installation is required.

How to convert ibs file?

IBS files are intended for use as IncrediBar skins rather than for conversion to another document format. To retain the customization, install the original IBS file in a compatible IncrediBar installation.
