IBOOKS at a glance

IBOOKS

Convert to IBOOKS when the destination is Apple Books or an Apple-focused ebook workflow that benefits from Apple's packaging and reading environment.

It is useful for education, illustrated content, and Apple-first publishing strategies.

For a more portable source or exchange format, EPUB is generally the better foundation.

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.
