Convert to AI when the recipient needs an editable Illustrator-native asset for ongoing design work, brand management, packaging updates, or professional vector refinement.
It is the right target when preserving Illustrator editability matters more than broad viewer compatibility.
For general sharing, PDF or SVG are often simpler handoff formats.
