SNB to PCD conversion is the process of transforming an SNB ebook file — a structured notebook/ebook format used by some digital note and ebook apps — into a PCD (Pocket Content Document) image-based ebook format used by legacy portable readers and certain archive tools. This conversion extracts text, images, and layout from the SNB container and re-encodes pages or content into PCD pages so the book can be read on devices or software that support PCD.

SNB files typically use a proprietary MIME type associated with note or sketch applications, containing vector or raster data. PCD files have the MIME type image/x-photo-cd and are commonly used for high-resolution photographic images encoded with specific codecs for efficient storage. Conversion involves transforming note or sketch data into a compatible photo image format.
The PCD (.PCD) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like SNB.

SNB files are primarily designed for proprietary note-taking applications, often limiting their usability outside specific environments. PCD files, on the other hand, store images in a format optimized for Kodak Photo CDs, offering broader support and easier editing options. While SNB focuses on note data, PCD is geared towards high-quality image storage.
Optimal file sizes: keep individual SNB files under 200–400MB for fastest, most reliable conversion; very large notebooks may time out or require splitting.
Quality preservation tips: choose high or lossless-equivalent PCD quality if the SNB contains fine-detail images or small text; use medium compression for text-only content to save space.
Batch conversion advice: convert in batches of 5–20 files depending on file sizes to avoid processing limits; consider zipping large collections for upload if supported.
Format-specific limitations: SNB may contain embedded interactive elements, annotations, or app-specific metadata that won’t fully map to the static PCD format; expect annotations to be flattened into page images.
