G3 to HRZ conversion is the process of transforming images stored in the G3 raster format into the HRZ image format. It involves decoding G3's line-encoded or compressed scanline data and re-encoding pixels into HRZ's container with chosen compression or quality settings for compatibility and optimized display.

G3 files are an older format primarily used for fax and scanned documents, while HRZ is a newer, more efficient format designed for enhanced compression and compatibility. HRZ typically results in smaller file sizes and better support across modern applications compared to G3.
Keep source G3 files under 10–20 MB per page for fastest processing; multi-page TIFFs can multiply size quickly.
To preserve readability, prefer lossless HRZ or high-quality lossy settings when converting line art or text-heavy scans.
For large batches, convert in groups of 50–100 files to avoid memory spikes and use command-line or API tools for automation.
Be aware that G3 is primarily for 1-bit bilevel images (fax/scans); color and continuous-tone detail may be lost or require dithering when expanding to HRZ.
