TCR to HEIF conversion is the process of transforming ebook pages or image data stored in the TCR (Psion/Kingston compressed ebook) container into HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) images. This conversion extracts and decodes TCR raster or embedded image content and re-encodes it as HEIF files for modern, space-efficient image storage and display.

TCR is an older raw image format primarily used by specific camera models, offering uncompressed image data. HEIF is a modern format that uses advanced compression to deliver high-quality images at smaller file sizes. Unlike TCR, HEIF enjoys broader compatibility with current devices and software.
Keep converted HEIFs under 2–5 MB per typical ebook page for ideal mobile performance; use higher sizes only for detailed scans.
To preserve text clarity, choose lossless or high-quality lossy HEIF settings and avoid aggressive chroma subsampling for black-and-white or grayscale pages.
For large libraries, batch convert by folder and test settings on a 3–5 page sample to balance size and legibility before processing all files.
Limitations: TCR is primarily for legacy ebook bitmaps—complex vector or formatting metadata may be lost during conversion to HEIF image files.
