Extract text from Synchronization files (SYNC)
To convert SYNC Files to another format, you need Samsung Notes or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Synchronization Data File" file type, you need software like Samsung Notes or a similar tool.
A .sync file is primarily a synchronization data file used by multiple applications to ensure data consistency across devices. The most common use case is the Samsung Notes application, which uses it to sync notes across smartphones and tablets. It is also used as a compressed code review package by SmartBear Code Collaborator and as a DJ playlist sync file by Pioneer DJ rekordbox.
You can typically open or utilize these files with Samsung Notes, SmartBear Code Collaborator, or rekordbox. The files themselves are usually structured as plain text data in JSON or XML formats, or packaged in a standard ZIP container depending on the originating software.
The biggest disadvantage of a .sync file is its highly application-specific nature. These are proprietary system files not meant for direct user interaction. If you do not have a Samsung device or the exact developer environment installed, opening a .sync file directly is practically impossible. It lacks native support in web browsers and desktop operating systems, leaving users frustrated when trying to recover or read synced data manually.
Because standard online converters fail to process application-specific files, conversion targets depend entirely on the underlying format. Samsung Notes and rekordbox files are best viewed or converted to standard JSON or XML to extract raw text data, though all application-specific formatting will be lost. Code Collaborator files can be renamed to ZIP to extract the internal code contents.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it often relies on proprietary databases and closed synchronization protocols. Usually, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SYNC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SYNCED, SDOCX, JLQM and SNMM files.

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 SYNC converter.
