Convert JLQM to TXT

Understanding jlqm and txt file formats

JLQM files are proprietary message backup files created by LG smartphones, typically used to store SMS and MMS messages. These files are not plain text and require special handling to extract readable content. On the other hand, TXT files are standard plain text files that can be opened and edited with any text editor, making them highly accessible and portable.

Why convert jlqm to txt?

Converting JLQM files to TXT format allows users to easily read, archive, or share their message data. TXT files are universally supported and can be used for backup, printing, or further processing.

How to convert jlqm to txt

Since JLQM is a proprietary format, there is no direct built-in support in most software. However, you can manually extract the text using the following method:

1. Change the file extension from .jlqm to .zip.
2. Extract the ZIP archive using any archive tool (e.g., 7-Zip or WinRAR).
3. Inside the extracted folder, locate the message.json file.
4. Open message.json with a text editor (such as Notepad++ or VS Code).
5. Copy the message content and paste it into a new TXT file, or use a JSON-to-TXT converter if you want to automate the process.
