MOBIPOCKET Books to VIPS conversion is the process of transforming eBook files in the MOBI container format (used by Mobipocket and older Kindle workflows) into the VIPS image-processing format used by the libvips ecosystem for high-performance image and document raster operations. This conversion typically involves extracting pages or embedded images from MOBI eBooks and re-encoding them as VIPS-compatible raster tiles or single-image representations for downstream processing or display.

Keep source MOBI files under 250 MB for fastest browser-based conversion; larger files (up to 1 GB) are better handled with desktop tools or paid services.
To preserve text clarity, export at 300 DPI when converting pages or images to VIPS raster outputs; lower DPI (72–150) is acceptable for thumbnails.
For best quality of illustrations, choose lossless PNG exports in VIPS; use JPEG with quality 85–90 for photographic content to save space.
Use batch conversion tools that stream with libvips to minimize memory usage and speed up processing when converting many MOBI files.
