Extract text from Samsung S Memo files (SMM)
To convert SMM memos to another format, you need Samsung Notes or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mobile Application Data" file type, you need software like Samsung Notes or a similar tool.
.SMM files are proprietary mobile note files created by the discontinued Samsung S Memo application, primarily found on older Android devices like the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2. These files act as containers that can store typed text, freehand drawings, and embedded audio recordings.
This format is notoriously restricted and obsolete. It locks your handwritten notes and media into a closed ecosystem that no longer exists on modern smartphones. You cannot natively open .SMM files on a Windows PC, macOS, or standard web browsers without specialized workarounds, meaning your legacy data is effectively trapped.
Because .SMM is a proprietary archive format, standard online converters fail to process it. Only the original Samsung software ecosystem (or its modern successor, Samsung Notes) has the correct proprietary logic to interpret the internal drawings and page layouts accurately. Attempting to convert it blindly with basic tools usually results in corrupted data or entirely missing media.
The most practical target formats for this data are PDF for document preservation, JPG for drawings, or TXT for raw text. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the exact format, view its structure, and extract what we can. If our analysis detects a supported underlying embedded format - like internal XML structures or standard image assets - viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Note that a smaller number of .SMM files are actually Russian securities market reports structured as standard XML, or project files for Smart Install Maker. Our analyzer will identify these variations instantly, allowing you to extract the text data without issue.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SMM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted JPG, ALL, PHC, MUP, CPR, SFM and SFT files.
If you want to convert SMM file to CPR, SFM, SFT, EXE, MSI, APP, DMG, DEB, RPM, PKG, RUN or SH, you can use Samsung Notes or similar software from the "Mobile Note Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert JAR, APP, SCR, IPA, COM, AAB, PS1, DMG, VBS, EXE, XAPK or MSI files to SMM, try Samsung Notes or another comparable tool in the "Mobile Note Storage" 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 SMM converter.
