Extract text from Samsung S Note files (SNB)
To convert SNB notes to another format, you need Samsung S Note or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mobile Note Document" file type, you need software like Samsung S Note or a similar tool.
A .SNB file is a proprietary note document primarily created by the legacy Samsung S Note application on older Samsung Galaxy Note devices. It stores handwritten notes, typed text, sketches, audio recordings, and embedded images. Under the hood, the Samsung format is a standard ZIP archive containing XML files and media assets. In rare cases, a .SNB file might also be a Shanda Bambook eBook created by Nut Shell Electronics, or a notebook file used by SuperNote devices. The primary software used to open and manage these files is Samsung Notes, which serves as the modern replacement for S Note.
Users frequently need to convert .SNB files because the format is heavily locked into the Samsung ecosystem. Opening it on Windows, macOS, or iOS requires specialized software or manual extraction. Users often need to share meeting notes or sketches with colleagues on non-Samsung devices, which is impossible with raw .SNB files. Furthermore, Samsung has deprecated the .SNB format in favor of newer formats like SDOCX, making long-term archiving a major problem.
The best conversion target for a .SNB file is PDF, as it preserves the layout of handwritten vector drawings and typed text. If you only need the sketches, converting to JPG or PNG is practical. Because .SNB is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters often fail to process the complex internal XML mapping. Often only the original Samsung software can properly read or export the visual data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SNB 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 SNB converter.
