SFM files mostly belong to SMemo. SFM Files can refer to several distinct file types. They are not a single format but rather a file extension used in different contexts.

Samsung Memo File: This use of SFM stores note data from Samsung devices. The file uses an internal PNG structure to preserve images and handwritten content. The term "Samsung Memo File" or "Samsung Note File Format" is applied here.

Sage 50 Form: In another context, an SFM file acts as a Standard Format Markers file for accounting forms in Sage 50 Accounting. For more detailed information, you can visit the Sage webpage.
