AZW3 to VIFF conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in Amazon's AZW3/KF8 format into the VIFF (Vendor Independent File Format) ebook container. This conversion extracts and rewraps text, layouts, images, and metadata so the content can be read or processed by systems that require the VIFF format while preserving as much of the original structure as possible.
