FAX to KWD conversion is the process of transforming documents originally stored or transmitted in FAX format — a raster image format used by facsimile machines and some digital fax services — into the KWD image format used by certain imaging or documentation systems. This conversion extracts the raster image data from the FAX file, maps resolution and compression settings, and re-encodes the image into KWD while preserving legibility and layout.

FAX files are primarily used for transmitting facsimile data, often limited in editing capabilities. KWD files are more versatile, supporting advanced document features and wider compatibility with office software. While FAX focuses on legacy communication, KWD is optimized for modern document management.
Keep individual FAX files under 250 MB for fastest browser-side conversion; large multipage faxes are best split before uploading.
To preserve text clarity from fax scans, choose 300–400 DPI and a lossless KWD compression option when available.
For bulk jobs, use batch conversion and process overnight; converting many high-DPI pages can be CPU- and memory-intensive.
Note format limitation: FAX sources are typically 1-bit or low-bit-depth grayscale — color information won’t be recovered in KWD if not present in the source.
