FAX to HRZ conversion is the process of transforming images or documents originally encoded in the FAX (facsimile) image format—typically monochrome, CCITT-compressed raster pages—into the HRZ image format. This conversion preserves page content while re-encoding the raster data, enabling compatibility with systems or workflows that require HRZ containers or compression and supporting subsequent viewing, storage, or processing in HRZ-aware tools.

FAX files typically use TIFF-based MIME types such as image/tiff and are mainly utilized for scanned fax transmissions. HRZ files support advanced codecs optimized for compression and quick rendering, often used in image and document processing applications. This conversion bridges legacy fax formats with modern, efficient file standards.
The HRZ (.HRZ) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like FAX.

FAX files are traditional and primarily used for scanned fax documents, often resulting in larger file sizes and limited compatibility. HRZ files provide improved compression, faster processing, and broader support in modern systems, making them better suited for digital workflows. Choosing HRZ over FAX enhances efficiency and accessibility.
Keep individual FAX pages under 5 MB when possible for faster uploads and reliable processing; large multi-page fax bundles should be split or compressed before conversion.
To preserve legibility, use lossless HRZ or the highest available quality setting when source FAX uses fine line art or small print; low-quality HRZ can introduce halftone artifacts in text.
For batch conversions, group files by resolution and bit-depth (all 1-bit fax pages together) to maintain consistent output and reduce processing errors.
Note format-specific limitation: FAX is typically bilevel (1-bit); converting to HRZ will retain monochrome characteristics unless you explicitly request grayscale or color expansion, which can increase file size.
