Convert to/from Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster saves from Android/PC version to Switch version.
I couldn't find a guide/tool for this, so I'm posting one.
The Android version encodes save files in Base64. From what I've seen, the PC version uses the same format, but I don't have that version, so *shrug*. The Switch does not, but the save format and IDs appear to be the same. The instructions are for Android, the Steam version will store its saves in a different folder.
I did this with FF II. I can't guarantee that it'll work for other games in the series. Everything appears correct, items, equipment, spells, status, etc, but I can't say for certain nothing is changed.

To access your save file from Android:
- Connect your phone to computer and enable file sharing.
- Navigate to SD Card/Android/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFPR*/files/Save
- * is the game number as a number. FFI = 1, FFII = 2, FFIII = 3, ...
- The "SD Card" folder might be named "Internal Storage" or something else, depending on your phone model.
- My phone would not let me copy files from this location. I used this app to copy the folder to a location I could copy from. If your phone is rooted, you should be able to use any file app. (I'm not affiliated with this app).
- Copy the below list of files to a holding location on your computer.

- DO NOT COPY THESE TWO FILES. The Switch version will fail to load if they're present. One is settings, the other is achievements.

- For each of the 5 files, decode them from Base64. I used https://www.base64decode.org/ (not affiliated).
- Zip the five files and restore the zip file with JKSV.
