Convert VBF to BIN

A .vbf (Versatile Binary Format) file wraps one or more data blocks behind a text header and CRC-16 checks. hptbin extracts a flat .bin: every block is read, placed at its real address, and the gaps between blocks are filled. Included in the hptbin app subscription.

Questions

FAQ

What is a VBF file?

Versatile Binary Format — a container (used by Volvo, Ford and others) holding ECU data blocks plus a text header and CRC-16 checks. This tool flattens it to a raw .bin.

Are the CRC checks validated?

Yes, block CRCs are read and used while assembling the image. The output is the calibration laid out at its true addresses.

Where is my file processed?

Securely on our servers. The .vbf is parsed, the .bin sent back, and nothing is kept afterwards.

How is a conversion paid for?

This conversion runs in the hptbin Windows app. The app is free to install, and the conversion is covered by the Pro subscription with no per-file charge.
