Extract text from Samsung boot animations (QMG)
To convert QMG boot animations to another format, you need Samsung Theme Designer or other Raster Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Samsung Firmware Graphic" file type, you need software like Samsung Theme Designer or a similar tool.
A .QMG file is a proprietary Samsung Qmage image format, used extensively for boot animations, charging screens, and UI themes across Samsung Android devices.
Developed initially by Quramsoft and integrated into Samsung's firmware starting in 2014, these files replace standard image sequences with heavily compressed graphical data. Specific environments like Samsung Theme Designer are required to compile and manage them.
Because they are closed-source and deeply baked into the Skia graphics library of Samsung's OS, standard image editors like Adobe Photoshop or generic web browsers cannot open them. Users customizing rooted phones often find these files stubbornly locked into the Samsung ecosystem, requiring a specific extraction process just to view the images.
To use these graphics elsewhere, you must convert the .QMG file to standard raster formats like PNG or JPG for static images, or GIF and MP4 for animated boot sequences.
Because this format is undocumented, reliable conversion is incredibly difficult outside of the original Samsung environment. Standard online converters usually fail to read the .QMG headers.
Convert.Guru analyzes your QMG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SPI, PNG, JPG, ZIP, MP4, GIF, APK, BMP, RAR, INDD, BIN, XAPK and SLDPRT files.
If you want to convert QMG file to ZIP, JPG, PDF, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP, ICO, CUR or PSD, you can use Samsung Theme Designer or similar software from the "Samsung Android Boot Animations" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to QMG, try Samsung Theme Designer or another comparable tool in the "Samsung Android Boot Animations" category.
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 QMG converter.
