RAS to SNB conversion is the process of transforming an image stored in the Sun Raster (RAS) format into the SNB image container format used by certain e-book readers and specialized image viewers. This conversion re-encodes pixel data, optionally adjusts color depth and compression, and repackages metadata so the image displays correctly in SNB-compatible devices and applications.
