How do I convert a .schem to a .litematic?

Drop the .schem on this page, pick the Java release you play on, from 1.13.2 to 26.3, and download the .litematic for Litematica.

Does it keep chests and entities?

Yes. Chest contents, sign text and other block entities carry over, and so do mobs, item frames and armor stands.

Is it free, and do I need an account?

Yes. Converting is free and needs no account. Your file isn't stored.

Can I use the result on Bedrock?

For Bedrock, convert the same file to a Bedrock structure instead: https://schematicraft.com/convert/schem-to-mcstructure

My file is from a newer release. Will it load in an older one?

Pick the release you play on. The file is written for that release, and any block that release does not have is replaced with the closest one or listed in the report.

We record formats, blocks and versions, never your file.

After you convert: load it in Litematica

Put the file in your schematics folder.
That is .minecraft/schematics, or the schematics folder of your modpack instance.
Load it in game.
Press M for the Litematica menu, choose Load Schematics, pick the file and press Load Schematic. It appears as a placement you can move into position.

What each format can store

Data	.schem	.litematic	Result
Block states	Yes	Yes	Kept
Block entities	Yes	Yes	Kept
Entities	Yes	Yes	Kept
Biomes	No	No	In neither
Multiple regions	No	Yes	Not in source
Scheduled ticks	No	Yes	Not in source
Paste origin	Yes	Yes	Kept

Litematica is the only supported format with true multi-region support, so converting into it never merges regions.
Scheduled block and fluid ticks survive, which matters for redstone and farm timing.
