Keep individual XV files under 25–50 MB for fastest web-based conversions; large images can be processed but will take longer.
To preserve maximum fidelity, choose a lossless DBK compression or higher color depth (16/24-bit) when prompted.
For many files, use batch conversion mode and export DBKs into a ZIP to maintain folder structure and speed up workflow.
Note format limitation: some XV variants use indexed palettes or uncommon metadata that may be flattened or converted to RGB during DBK export.
