About NOT files
The .NOT file extension is most commonly associated with proprietary music notation scores created by Notation Musician. It can also represent encrypted school data backups from Index Éducation Pronote, legacy Corel WordPerfect DOS documents, or digital handwritten notes from Ratta SuperNote e-ink devices. You typically need the specific authoring software to open these files. The main disadvantage of the .NOT format is its highly fragmented and proprietary nature. Because multiple unrelated software programs use the exact same .NOT extension for entirely different data types, the files are confusing to identify and impossible to open natively in web browsers or standard operating systems. Furthermore, formats like Pronote backups are encrypted databases, meaning you cannot access the data without the corresponding application and login credentials. Music scores saved as .NOT files lock you into a paid ecosystem. Users frequently want to convert music .NOT files to standard audio formats like MIDI or printable PDF documents to share sheet music globally. SuperNote .NOT files are best converted to PDF or PNG for viewing on modern devices. Legacy WordPerfect documents should be converted to TXT or DOCX. This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert because standard online converters cannot guess which underlying data structure is inside. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Our system inspects the file signature, reveals text or internal content, and if our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NOT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The NOT Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our NOT converter.
