SNB to PICON conversion is the process of transforming an ebook stored in the SNB (S-note Book) format—commonly used by certain e-reader and note-taking apps—into the PICON format, which is a compact icon-based ebook/image container used by some reading ecosystems. This conversion extracts the text, images, and layout from the SNB package and repackages or re-encodes them into PICON-compatible resources while preserving reading order and visual fidelity where possible.
