What is a VMG file?
A .VMG file is a mobile phone message backup. It stores a single SMS message or multiple messages. Users often export these files from older mobile devices to a computer. A classic Nokia Text Message uses this format. The file contains the sender number, the date, and the plain text message body.
How to open VMG files
You can open .VMG files with original mobile phone software like Samsung Kies or Nokia PC Suite. Because a .VMG file uses a text-based structure, you can also open it with a plain text editor. Software like Notepad++ or Microsoft Notepad will display the text. However, you will also see system code and technical tags alongside your message.
Inspecting VMG files
viewer.online/vmg can analyze .VMG files to identify the exact format and creator software, inspect the file structure, extract readable text, and check whether an online preview is available.
Converting VMG files
