What is an SN3 file?

SN3 files mostly belong to Samsung Notes.

SN3 files are used by Samsung Notes. They are a proprietary format that stores note data including text, images, and hand-drawn sketches.
When you open an SN3 file in the Samsung Notes app, you see your saved notes in a format optimized for Samsung devices.

Key details as outlined by FilExt.com:

  • Purpose: Stores and manages individual notes.
  • Content: Can include text, pictures, and handwriting all in one file.
  • Functionality: Designed for Samsung's note-taking app, ensuring data is organized internally.
  • Usage: Primarily created and viewed using Samsung Notes (SNote).

FilExt.com note: If you have an SN3 file, open it with the Samsung Notes app. You can also export the note to a common format (like PDF) if you need to share or access it using other software.

How do you open SN3 files?

You need a suitable software like Samsung Notes to open an SN3 file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SN3 file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SN3 file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

    ChessDB is a database program used for storing chess games. A ChessDB format database consists of three files: .SI3 (index file); .SN3 (name file); .SG3 (game file) (those 3 are needed to make one database). These are all binary files. Some complete databases are held on the ChessDB web site. At the time of writing, one database (called 'huge') has over 3.5 million games. Other files used in ChessDB are: .PGN (Portable game notation, which is used in lots of chess programs, so is not unique to ChessDB); .EPD (Extended Position Description); .SSO (Search options file); .SOR (Repertoire file); .DAT (used on four files - engines.dat history.dat options.dat and recent.dat) to hold configuration information. All are text files. This file format is classified as Database. Related links: ChessDB Programmers Reference
