Use it when interoperability and structured automation matter more than comments or document-style readability.
What changes when converting PICT to JSON?

Moving to JSON removes vector scaling.
What should I review after converting PICT to JSON?
Validate output quality on representative files and confirm the target format behaves correctly in the destination workflow.
