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.
MPEG at a glance
MPEG
Convert to MPEG when maintaining compatibility with older playback devices, disc-related workflows, or archived video libraries that were created around classic MPEG distribution.
It is useful as a bridge format for restoring or normalizing legacy video.
For current delivery, newer containers and codecs are usually better.
