What Is This Tool?
This tool helps you archive SNB files, used by Samsung's S Note application, into 7Z archives. It packages your multi-page handwritten and typed notes into a compressed, portable format with optional encryption and multi-volume support.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Upload your SNB files from Samsung S Note onto the tool.
-
Choose 7Z as the target archive format.
-
Optionally set encryption and multi-volume options.
-
Start the archiving process to compress and package files.
-
Download the resulting 7Z archive for backup or transfer.
Key Features
-
Converts proprietary SNB note files into 7Z archive format.
-
High compression with LZMA/LZMA2 to reduce file size.
-
Supports AES-256 encryption for secure archiving.
-
Enables creation of multi-volume (split) archives for easy transfer.
-
Preserves original SNB files without altering their content.
Examples
-
A teacher exports semester SNB lecture notes and archives them in a 7Z file secured with AES-256 encryption.
-
A professional bundles dozens of meeting SNB files into a single 7Z archive to reduce email attachment size.
-
User creates multi-volume 7Z archives of large SNB note collections to move them across media with size limits.
Common Use Cases
-
Backing up collections of Samsung S Note SNB documents into a compressed archive for off-device storage.
-
Reducing file size of multiple SNB files for cloud upload or email sharing.
-
Securing sensitive handwritten and typed notes via encrypted archives.
-
Splitting large SNB file collections into multi-volume archives for easier transfer.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Keep original SNB files before archiving to avoid losing editability.
-
Use AES-256 encryption when archiving sensitive note data for privacy.
-
Verify recipients have compatible tools like 7-Zip to extract archives.
-
Avoid pre-converting SNB files to other formats before archiving to preserve pen stroke data.
-
Be mindful that solid compression can increase extraction time for individual files.
Limitations
-
Archiving SNB files as 7Z does not change their proprietary format or editing requirements.
-
Requires compatible extractors such as 7-Zip as not all systems support 7Z natively.
-
Accessing files in encrypted or solid compressed archives may take longer and need more system resources.
-
Full fidelity editing still depends on Samsung S Note; archiving does not enhance editability.
-
Pre-converted SNB files (e.g., to PDF) may lose editable stroke or metadata.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an SNB file?
-
An SNB file is a proprietary note format from Samsung's S Note app, containing handwritten and typed notes along with embedded images and layout data.
-
Why archive SNB files into 7Z format?
-
Archiving SNB files into 7Z compresses them for smaller size, enables encryption for security, and allows multi-volume archives for easy transfer.
-
Do I need special software to open 7Z archives?
-
Yes, you need compatible extractors like 7-Zip or other third-party tools as 7Z isn't supported natively by all operating systems.
-
Will archiving my SNB files affect editing capabilities?
-
No, archiving preserves the SNB files as-is, but editing still requires Samsung's S Note app since the format is proprietary.
Key Terminology
-
SNB
-
A proprietary binary note format from Samsung's S Note app used to store mixed handwritten and typed multi-page notes.
-
7Z
-
An open archive format that compresses multiple files using LZMA/LZMA2 compression, supporting encryption and multi-volume archives.
-
AES-256 Encryption
-
A strong encryption method used to secure file contents within archives.
-
Solid Compression
-
A compression technique in 7Z archives that groups similar files to achieve higher compression ratios.
