About SME files

The .SME file extension represents two distinct but problematic formats: legacy Samsung mobile backups and Anastasis SuperMappe concept maps.

1. Samsung SMS Backup: Originally generated by older feature phones and early smartphones via Samsung Kies, these files contain archived text messages (SMS). The primary disadvantage is their proprietary nature; modern Android devices use Smart Switch, rendering these old .SME files unreadable on current phones or standard text editors. Users typically possess these files when trying to recover sentimental messages from decade-old backups. To view the content, the file must be converted to TXT, CSV, or PDF, stripping away the proprietary headers to reveal the human-readable text and timestamps.

2. SuperMappe Evo Concept Map: Created by Anastasis, these files are digital concept maps used in educational settings. While powerful for brainstorming, the .SME format locks data into specific software installed on school computers. Sharing these ideas with students or colleagues who lack the software is a major difficulty. For broader accessibility, these should be converted to PDF for static viewing, JPG for web embedding, or DOCX to extract the textual outline.

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

Users also converted SMEA, 443, SMEM, TXT, ZIP, SBU, SPB and CM0013 files.



The SME 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 SME converter.
