Extract text from Sony Sketch projects (SKTZ)
To convert SKTZ projects to another format, you need Sony Sketch or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mobile App Project" file type, you need software like Sony Sketch or a similar tool.
The .SKTZ file extension is a proprietary project format created by the now-discontinued Sony Sketch application for Android and iOS. These files function as compressed archives (internally formatted as ZIP) that contain the user's drawing layers, brush data, and a merged preview image.
Because Sony Sketch was removed from app stores in 2019, users frequently find themselves locked out of their artwork with no official way to open these files on modern devices. The proprietary nature of the format means standard image viewers cannot display them, and professional tools like Adobe Photoshop or Autodesk Sketchbook do not natively support them. To recover your work, the most reliable method is to treat the file as a ZIP archive to extract the flat image, or use a conversion workflow to migrate the layers to a standard format like PSD or PNG for archiving and web use.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SKTZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
