Converting SB3 to ZIP is just as easy: rename .sb3 to .zip . This allows you to:

The process for converting a ZIP archive into a runnable Scratch file is straightforward, but it requires attention to detail. A single misplaced file can corrupt the project.

This is the most common reason for manually handling these files. Scratch has specific limitations; for example, it might be difficult to edit a complex vector image directly within the Scratch paint editor. By renaming the .sb3 to .zip , extracting the files, editing the images in professional software like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, and then re-zipping them, you can bypass Scratch's internal editors. Once finished, you must convert the ZIP back to SB3 to run the game. When you save a project on the Scratch
