TCR to VIPS conversion is the process of transforming an ebook or document image stored in the TCR (Teleca/PSION compressed image or ebook container often used for older mobile and PDA ebooks) format into the VIPS (VIPS image processing library output or .vips-compatible image representation) format. This conversion extracts and decodes the TCR content, optionally performs image processing or layout adjustments, and re-encodes the pages into VIPS-compatible images for high-performance image handling and further editing or rendering.
