Extract text from SN files
To convert your SN file to another format, you need ZKTeco BioTime or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Biometric Log & CAD" file type, you need software like ZKTeco BioTime or a similar tool.
The .sn file extension primarily identifies an Attendance Data Export generated by biometric devices from ZKTeco (often for import into SuperNova ERP). These files are structured as XML text and contain raw employee log data, including check-in/check-out timestamps, badge IDs, and device serial numbers. HR departments typically need to convert these raw logs into Microsoft Excel or CSV formats to calculate payroll or analyze work hours, as the raw XML is difficult to read manually and not compatible with standard spreadsheet software without parsing.
Alternatively, a .sn file may be a Solid Edge Sheet Metal file created by Siemens Solid Edge. While modern Solid Edge files typically use PSM, the .sn extension can appear in specific legacy versions or backup workflows within the Microsoft Compound file structure. These are proprietary 3D CAD models used in engineering to define sheet metal properties, bends, and flat patterns. Users without a Solid Edge license cannot open these files and often need to convert them to DXF for 2D cutting, STEP for 3D interoperability, or PDF for non-technical viewing.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SN file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 SN converter.
