JPEG Image (JPG) to UYVY conversion is the process of transforming a compressed raster photo stored in the JPEG format into an uncompressed or lightly packed YCbCr 4:2:2 interleaved video pixel format (UYVY). This conversion repackages luminance and chrominance data for use in video pipelines, broadcast, or certain image-processing workflows where YUV 4:2:2 chroma subsampling and frame-aligned pixel ordering are required.

JPG files use the MIME type image/jpeg and are commonly employed for photographic images on the web and in digital photography. UYVY files correspond to the MIME type video/uyvy or raw video streams and are frequently used in video capture cards and professional video editing software. Codecs supporting UYVY typically include those optimized for real-time video processing and broadcasting workflows.
The UYVY (.UYVY) format is commonly used for document. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like JPEG Image (JPG).
While specific technical details aren't available here, UYVY files generally serve the purpose of storing document effectively within their domain.
Converting JPG images to UYVY format has never been easier. Our online JPG to UYVY converter allows you to quickly transform your JPG files into UYVY, a format commonly used in video processing and broadcasting. Whether you need to prepare files for professional editing or specialized workflows, our tool offers a seamless conversion experience without any software installation.
JPG is a widely used compressed image format optimized for photographs and web use, focusing on reducing file size while maintaining visual quality. UYVY, on the other hand, is an uncompressed or lightly compressed video pixel format used primarily in video capture and processing, emphasizing color fidelity and compatibility with video systems. While JPG is ideal for still images, UYVY excels in video and broadcasting environments.
Keep individual JPG files under 250 MB for web-based converters to avoid upload timeouts; desktop tools can handle larger images more reliably.
Preserve quality by using the highest JPEG source available (minimal compression) and select 8-bit UYVY output without additional chroma subsampling when possible.
For workflows needing exact color, embed or strip ICC profiles consistently; UYVY is YCbCr-based so color shifts can occur when converting directly from sRGB.
Use batch conversion tools or command-line utilities for many files to maintain consistent settings and speed up processing.
Love this tool for quick format changes without losing quality.
