Is there any program that can open files from Sketch

Question

Sketch is an app that's Mac OSX only.

Its used for UI design and my company uses it. I can't run the app in Ubuntu.

Is there any program for Ubuntu that can view these kind of file collections?

It's basically a folder with a .sketch ending containing a "Data" file with no ending and some other stuff.

Answer 1

Figma can import Sketch files. It's web-based and should work fine on Ubuntu as long as your browser supports WebGL.

Answer 2

I would recommend a free web-based photo editor Photopea, that can open Sketch files. After opening, you can edit it, save as JPG, PNG, SVG, PSD, etc :)

Answer 3

Looks like that avocode finally did it -> https://avocode.com/open-sketch-on-linux

Answer 4

Maybe Inkscape could do that. To install Inkscape in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install inkscape

From Inkscape FAQ: What formats can Inkscape import/export?:

Inkscape natively supports opening or importing SVG, SVGZ (gzipped SVG), PDF, and AI (Adobe Illustrator) formats.

With the help of extensions, Inkscape can open a number other vector formats. For importing PostScript or EPS, you need to install Ghostscript (sudo apt install ghostscript) and make sure ps2pdf is in your PATH. For formats of Dia, XFig, or Sketch, you need to have these programs installed. For CorelDraw, CGM, and SK1 files, you need to have UniConverter installed.

Inkscape can natively import most raster formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc.) as bitmap images, but it can only export PNG bitmaps.

Inkscape can save as SVG, SVGZ, PDF, Postscript/EPS/EPSi, Adobe Illustrator (*.ai), LaTeX (*.tex), POVRay (*.pov), HPGL, and others.

You can view .sketch files in the browser with https://sketchviewer.com
