FAX to FTS conversion is the process of transforming a digital fax image or fax-standard file (commonly using Group 3 or Group 4 fax encodings) into an FTS image container or format optimized for storage, viewing, or downstream processing. This conversion typically preserves the bi-level (black-and-white) characteristics of fax data while repackaging or re-encoding it into FTS with optional quality, compression, and metadata settings for easier management and archiving.

FAX files typically use the MIME type image/fax and are encoded using Group 3 or Group 4 fax codecs. They are mainly used for transmitting scanned documents over telephone lines. FTS files usually employ MIME type application/fts and support advanced compression codecs for efficient storage and faster access in document management systems.
The FTS (.FTS) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like FAX.

FAX files are primarily designed for fax machine transmission and may lack compatibility with many digital platforms. In contrast, the FTS format is optimized for flexible digital use, offering improved integration with various applications. While FAX files are often limited to legacy systems, FTS supports modern workflows and enhanced document handling.
Keep individual FAX pages under 5 MB for fastest uploads; multi-page archives should ideally stay below 250 MB for web tools.
To preserve legibility, convert fax images using lossless FTS or High quality setting; avoid aggressive lossy compression for small text.
For large batches, compress original FAX files into an archive (ZIP) before upload and use a batch conversion feature to maintain file structure.
Be aware that some FAX files are strictly bi-level (1-bit) and converting to color or aggressive downsampling can introduce artifacts; use grayscale or bi-level FTS settings.
