AI at a glance
AI
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.
3GP at a glance
3GP
Convert to 3GP when preserving or processing older mobile phone footage, MMS-era videos, or device-targeted clips for constrained mobile environments.
It is a reasonable compatibility target for archival workflows involving legacy handsets.
For general-purpose delivery, MP4 is the more practical modern choice.
