Sets how many colors the output contains, up to 256. Use the smallest count that still looks right; 0 disables color reduction and 2 suits monochrome images.
Set this to the color of the background that should be ignored. Choose a color using the color picker or enter a hex color value. (eg. #FFFFFF)
This sets the number of times curves will be smoothed before fitting to a spline. Default is 4.
None
Removes small specks before shapes are traced. Higher values clear more specks but lose fine detail. Default is None.
Converts text into shapes so it looks the same everywhere. The text can no longer be selected, searched, or edited.

Skencil Drawing (SK) is the native document format of Skencil, a vector graphics editor for Unix and Linux that was originally released under the name Sketch. An SK file stores drawings as text-based descriptions of curves, shapes, gradients, and text objects, so the artwork remains fully scalable and editable. The project is no longer actively developed and was succeeded by sK1, which uses the .sk1 extension.

 

How to open an SK file?

Because SK is application-specific, the usual route for anyone without Skencil or sK1 is to convert the drawing to a widely supported vector format such as SVG, PDF, or EPS. UniConvertor, the sK1 Project’s command-line converter, performs that step.

 

Once converted, the drawing opens in Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, or LibreOffice Draw. The sK1 illustration program also imports legacy SK documents directly. Be aware that .sk is reused by unrelated software, so a file that will not open may not be a Skencil drawing at all.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a resolution-independent, open-standard file format. It is based on Extensible Markup Language (XML), uses vector graphics, and supports limited animation. The main benefit of using an SVG file is, as the name implies, its scalability. This file type can be resized without a loss in image quality. In addition, SVG is unique in that it is not an image format. Instead, it is an XML-based standard that provides information for creating two-dimensional vector images.

How to open an SVG file?

SVG files open readily in most web browsers, such as Firefox or Microsoft Edge. In addition, since SVG is an XML file, you can view the XML-associated text in any common text editor, such as Windows Notepad or Brackets for macOS.


It is possible to use Adobe programs for opening and editing SVG files. Just be sure to install the SVG Kit for Adobe Creative Suite plug-in first. Converting SVG files is possible with the aid of a few online tools. For conversion to non-vector file types, try our SVG to GIF or SVG to PDF tools. To convert to vector files like SVG into JPG, try our SVG to JPG or SVG to PNG tools.
