The HSB file extension is a type of format that may be used for different purposes according to its implementation. HSB is most commonly associated with Husqvarna Designer I Embroidery Machine Format. However, Hydrosweep DS multibeam sonar system from Kongsberg Maritime also makes use of this file extension.

The HSB files can be opened using specialized software like CARIS HIPS and SIPS, which can process bathymetric data, combine it with other sources of data, and represent it visually.
