Convert LQM to SMM

Understanding lqm and smm file formats

LQM files are note files created by the LG QuickMemo app, commonly found on LG smartphones. These files store notes, images, and sometimes voice recordings in a proprietary format. SMM files, on the other hand, are Samsung Memo files used by Samsung's S Memo or Samsung Notes applications. They also contain notes, drawings, and multimedia content, but use a different structure and are not directly compatible with LQM files.

Why convert lqm to smm?

Converting LQM to SMM is useful when switching from an LG device to a Samsung device, allowing you to retain your notes and access them in Samsung's note-taking apps.

How to convert lqm to smm

There is no direct, automated converter for LQM to SMM due to their proprietary nature. However, you can manually extract the content and import it into Samsung Notes:

1. On your LG device, locate the LQM file (usually in the QuickMemo+ folder).
2. Change the file extension from .lqm to .zip and extract it. Inside, you'll find a memoinfo.jlqm file (JSON format) and any attached images.
3. Open the memoinfo.jlqm file with a text editor to view your note's content.
4. Copy the note text and save any images you want to keep.
5. On your Samsung device, open Samsung Notes or S Memo and create a new note.
6. Paste the text and insert the images as needed.
7. Save the note; it will be stored as an SMM file.

Best software for the conversion

While there is no dedicated software for direct LQM to SMM conversion, the following tools are helpful:

• WinRAR or 7-Zip – to extract the LQM file contents.
• Notepad++ or any text editor – to read the memoinfo.jlqm file.
• Samsung Notes app – to create and save the note in SMM format.

Summary

Although there is no one-click solution, you can manually transfer your notes from LQM to SMM by extracting, copying, and recreating them in Samsung Notes. This ensures your important information is preserved when switching devices.
