About LQM files

The .LQM file is a proprietary digital note created by the QuickMemo+ application on LG Android smartphones. It stores text, handwriting strokes, embedded images, and audio clips used for personal note-taking.

This format is notoriously problematic because it is locked to a discontinued hardware ecosystem. Since LG exited the mobile phone market, users face significant challenges accessing their old data. The .LQM file requires a $0/month ecosystem that simply no longer exists. It cannot be opened natively on Windows, macOS, iOS, or non-LG Android devices, and it is not supported by standard web browsers.

Because of these rigid limitations, extracting the contents into universal formats is highly recommended. The most practical conversion targets are ZIP (for full structure extraction), TXT or JSON (for raw text recovery), and JPG or MP4 (for salvaging embedded media). Be prepared to lose complex layouts, specific handwriting strokes, and custom highlights, as these elements are tied to LG's proprietary rendering engine.

This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert intact because the internal layout and handwriting coordinates are stored in undocumented, LG-specific data structures. Standard online converters fail to process it because they lack the proprietary software required to rebuild the note visually. However, under the hood, the .LQM file is simply a standard ZIP container.

Convert.Guru analyzes your LQM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted JLQM, JPG, TXT, ZIP, 0002, PDF, MTD, DOCX, MEMO, XLS, APK, LXF and MDB files.
