Extract text from UBK files
To convert your UBK file to another format, you need Samsung S Note or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "Application Archive" file type, you need software like Samsung S Note or a similar tool.
A .ubk file is a multi-purpose backup container, most frequently encountered as a Samsung S Note image backup or a Ubiquiti network configuration file. In the case of Samsung mobile devices, the file is often a standard Portable Network Graphic (PNG) disguised with a proprietary extension to prevent accidental modification in the gallery. Users often encounter these files when transferring old data from Galaxy devices or exporting sketches. The format is also utilized by Uni Micro accounting software and Ubiquiti networking gear for system state archiving.
The primary challenge with .ubk files is their ambiguity; without knowing the originating software, they appear as unreadable binary data. A Samsung user might find their sketches inaccessible on a PC, while a network administrator might confuse a Uni Micro archive (internally a ZIP) for a router config. This proprietary lock-in forces users to rely on legacy software just to view simple images or data.
For Samsung S Note files, the most practical conversion target is PNG or JPG for universal viewing, or PDF for archiving documents. For Uni Micro backups, converting (or renaming) to ZIP allows immediate access to the internal XML or CSV financial data without needing the full accounting suite.

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 UBK converter.
