LG QuickMemo files need conversion when their notes must be searched, edited, or shared with software that cannot open .lqm backups. Converting to .txt preserves recoverable typed text in a smaller, widely readable format, but not the note's visual layout.
What the LQM format is
LQM is the backup and export format used by LG QuickMemo and QuickMemo+ on selected LG Android phones. An LQM file can contain typed text, handwriting, drawings, inserted images, annotations, and application metadata. Users normally encounter it after exporting notes from an LG phone or copying a QuickMemo backup to a computer.
LQM is an application-specific note package rather than a normal text document. Its internal structure varies between QuickMemo versions and phone models. Renaming .lqm to .txt changes only the filename extension and does not decode the note.
What the TEXT format is
A TEXT file is a plain-text document, usually saved with a .txt extension. It contains characters without QuickMemo layout data, drawing layers, images, or application-specific metadata, so it opens in Android text editors, Windows Notepad, macOS TextEdit, Linux editors, code editors, and command-line tools.
Plain text is searchable, portable, easy to edit, and suitable for indexing or long-term content archiving. It cannot preserve handwriting, colors, page positioning, embedded pictures, checkboxes, links, or most formatting. Keep the LQM file, or use an image or PDF export, when the note's visual appearance matters.

- Keep an untouched backup of the original
.lqmfile. - Open the LQM-to-TEXT converter on 101convert.com; the conversion is available free without installing software.
- Select or confirm
TEXTas the output format, then upload the LQM file. - Start the conversion and download the resulting
.txtfile when processing finishes. - Open the output in a text editor and check line breaks, accented characters, punctuation, and the completeness of the recovered note.
The result depends on the LQM version and its contents. A converter can normally recover an embedded text layer, but handwriting, drawings, and text contained only in images require OCR or manual transcription. OCR output must be proofread.
Recover text when conversion fails
Use the matching LG phone and QuickMemo or QuickMemo+ application when possible. Import or restore the LQM backup, open the note, and use the application's Share, Export, or Save as command. If no plain-text option exists, select the typed content, copy it into a text editor, and save it as note.txt using UTF-8. QuickMemo versions differ: some offer only image or PDF export, which does not produce a true plain-text file.
For a computer-based inspection, work only on a copy. Some LQM files are ZIP-style packages that can be opened with 7-Zip or another archive utility; others require the original QuickMemo application. If an archive utility does not recognize the file, do not repeatedly rename the only backup or edit its internal files. On a copy, testing a .zip filename may help an archive utility identify a package, but it does not convert the format.
If extraction reveals readable HTML, XML, or text, copy the note content into a new UTF-8 text file. An HTML source can be converted with Pandoc using pandoc extracted-note.html -f html -t plain -o note.txt. Extracted databases, encoded resources, and image files are not automatically usable as plain text and may require version-specific analysis or OCR.
Compatibility and quality limits
Plain-text conversion removes formatting, layout, colors, drawings, images, and other QuickMemo resources. It may also alter bullets, line breaks, unsupported symbols, or embedded links. Reopen the output with UTF-8 encoding and verify non-ASCII characters before replacing or deleting the LQM backup.
An LQM file that cannot be opened on a computer is not necessarily corrupt; it may depend on a particular QuickMemo generation or LG device. Restoring it through the original or a compatible LG phone is usually safer than modifying the file structure.

Is the LQM to TEXT converter free?
Yes, converting LQM to TEXT on 101convert.com is completely free. No registration, email address or installation is required. If you need a higher file size limit or want to convert more files at once, see our plans.

You can upload LQM files up to 10 MB and convert up to 3 files at once in a single batch. With a paid plan the limit is up to 50 MB per file and 10 files at once, see our plans.
What happens to my uploaded files?
Files are processed automatically and deleted from our servers within a few minutes after conversion. We never view or share your files.
Do I need to install any software to convert LQM to TEXT?
No. The LQM to TEXT conversion runs entirely online in your browser and works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone.
Did the conversion fail?
In most cases, the cause is an incorrect file format. Please upload a valid LQM file for this LQM to TEXT conversion. Occasionally, the issue may be on our side. We analyze recurring conversion failures and disable or fix the converter if we detect a defect.
Will converting an LQM file to TEXT keep my typed QuickMemo note?
Yes, the typed note content is extracted as plain, searchable text. Note formatting, handwriting, drawings, images, and other QuickMemo-specific elements are not preserved in a TEXT file.
Are LQM formatting and note layout preserved in TEXT?
No, TEXT stores characters without the original QuickMemo layout or rich formatting. Line breaks may remain, but fonts, colours, positioning, highlights, and other visual details are flattened or discarded.
Can I edit an LQM-to-TEXT conversion afterward?
Yes, the result is ordinary editable text rather than an LQM backup. It can be opened and changed in any text editor, but it cannot be converted back into the original QuickMemo note structure.
Why is some content missing when I convert LQM to TEXT?
Only text that the LQM extraction process can read is saved, so embedded images, handwritten strokes, sketches, and unsupported note elements may be omitted. Text encoding or unusual characters can also cause some symbols to appear incorrectly.
