DCR to HRZ conversion is the process of transforming images stored in the DCR (a raster image format often produced by specialized scanners or legacy imaging tools) into the HRZ format, an image container optimized for high-resolution archival and fast rendering. This conversion re-encodes pixels, metadata, and compression settings so the image can be viewed, edited, or distributed in HRZ-compatible viewers and workflows.
