XC to SK conversion is the process of transforming raster or vector images stored in the XC (eXtended Canvas) format into the SK (Sketch Raster) format, enabling compatibility with SK-compatible viewers and editors. This conversion maps XC's layer, metadata, color profile and compression features into SK's optimized image container while preserving visual fidelity and editability where possible.
