Convert QMG to SMT

Understanding QMG and SMT file formats

QMG files are proprietary image files used primarily by Samsung devices, especially for themes and UI elements. They are often found in Samsung's firmware and are not widely supported outside Samsung's ecosystem.

SMT files are Samsung Theme files, used to package themes for Samsung devices. These files contain images, icons, and other resources that customize the look and feel of the device's interface.

Why convert QMG to SMT?

Converting QMG to SMT is useful for theme developers who want to repurpose or update existing QMG images into a complete Samsung theme package. This allows for easier distribution and installation of custom themes on Samsung devices.

How to convert QMG to SMT

There is no direct, automated converter for QMG to SMT, as the process involves extracting QMG images and then packaging them into an SMT file. Here are the general steps:

1. Extract QMG images: Use a tool like QMG Tools or Samsung Theme Designer to extract or convert QMG files to standard image formats (such as PNG).
2. Create a new SMT theme: Open Samsung Theme Designer or Theme Park (available from Samsung's Galaxy Store).
3. Import images: Replace the default theme images with your extracted PNGs by navigating to Images or Icons sections in the software.
4. Export as SMT: Once your theme is ready, use File → Export → SMT to generate the SMT file.
