JPS at a glance
JPS
Convert to JPS when preserving stereoscopic photo pairs, preparing side-by-side 3D images for compatible viewers, or maintaining archives from cameras and displays that used the JPEG Stereo convention.
It is mainly useful for legacy stereoscopic-image exchange rather than mainstream still-image publishing.
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.
