ICB is a Truevision raster image - the same TGA format used by Targa video boards, here named for the Image Capture Board. TGA, ICB, VDA and VST are all the same Truevision raster format under different extensions named after the company’s 1980s graphics cards. Analyser handles .ICB alongside related formats such as .TGA, .QOI, .PPM and more. In Analyser's format library, .ICB sits in the Images category.

How do I open a .ICB file?

Drop a .ICB file onto Analyser at https://lab.valjdakosta.com/ and it is identified directly in your browser - no upload, no account and no software to install. Decode and preview extra still-image formats in pure JavaScript - Truevision TGA, QOI, Netpbm (PPM/PGM/PBM), PCX, farbfeld, WBMP, XBM/XPM, Sun Raster and SGI are fully rendered - and read header metadata from codec-heavy formats: Radiance HDR, DirectDraw Surface (DDS) game textures, OpenEXR, JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, EPS/PostScript, Windows WMF/EMF metafiles, Apple ICNS icons, CUR/ANI cursors, MNG and Lottie animations.

Can I open a .ICB file online for free?

Yes. Analyser is a free online .ICB identifier that runs entirely in your browser - your .ICB file never leaves your device, so there is nothing to upload and no software to install. It even works offline once installed.

What Analyser reads: Decode and preview extra still-image formats in pure JavaScript - Truevision TGA, QOI, Netpbm (PPM/PGM/PBM), PCX, farbfeld, WBMP, XBM/XPM, Sun Raster and SGI are fully rendered - and read header metadata from codec-heavy formats: Radiance HDR, DirectDraw Surface (DDS) game textures, OpenEXR, JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, EPS/PostScript, Windows WMF/EMF metafiles, Apple ICNS icons, CUR/ANI cursors, MNG and Lottie animations.
Depth of analysis: .ICB is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
Open a .ICB file: Drag a .ICB file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
