The kbd file extension is associated with Parallels Desktop for Mac, virtualization software for Apple macOS, formerly known as Mac OS X.
The kbd file contains preferences and other configuration settings for the Parallels Desktop application. It is an internal support file, not a virtual machine disk or a document intended for regular editing.
Parallels Desktop manages this file as part of its application configuration. Its contents and location may depend on the version of Parallels Desktop in use.
A kbd file should be opened and managed by Parallels Desktop for Mac on macOS. The application reads the file as part of its preferences and configuration.
It is not intended to be opened or edited manually in a text editor. Changing an internal preference file could prevent Parallels Desktop from reading its settings correctly.
A kbd file is a Parallels Desktop preference file, so it has no useful standalone conversion format.
To preserve or transfer settings, use the preference or migration features provided by Parallels Desktop rather than converting the file directly.
