A BinHex encoded file is a text file encoded in binary format and exported to Hexadecimal format using the Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe 2011 software among other file compression and decompression applications. Classified as encoded files, these BinHex encoded files are saved in the HBX format and are appended with the .hbx extension. These HBX files are mainly used to convert binary data into more portable text data. The binary content of these HBX files, prior to compression and encoding, are in the 8-bit binary format, though upon compression and encoding, this binary data is converted into 7-bit text format. This means multimedia content like images, documents with digital objects and visual elements among other graphics can be compressed and encoded in the HBX format to reduce the size of these files. Primarily developed for Mac platforms, these HBX files can also be created, decompressed and opened in computers running on Microsoft Windows-based systems using the Corel WinZip 16 Pro software.how to open a .hbx file?

Be careful not to rename the extension on .hbx files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .hbx. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
