G3 to PS conversion is the process of transforming image data encoded with the Group 3 (G3) fax compression standard into a PostScript (PS) file format that represents the image as a printable page description. This conversion decodes the G3-compressed bitmap (monochrome fax data) and wraps or renders it into a PostScript page so it can be viewed, printed, or further processed in page-layout workflows.

G3 files typically use the image/g3fax MIME type and are monochrome bitmaps compressed with modified Huffman coding. They are commonly used in fax transmissions and scanned document storage. PS files have the application/postscript MIME type and contain programming code describing page layout, text, and vector graphics, making them suitable for printing and graphic design workflows.
The PS (.PS) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like G3.
While specific technical details aren't available here, PS files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.

G3 is a group 3 fax image format primarily used for monochrome bitmap images, often in fax machines. In contrast, PS (PostScript) is a versatile page description language widely used for printing and desktop publishing, supporting complex graphics and text. While G3 focuses on simple image compression, PS provides richer graphical capabilities and better print quality.
Keep G3 source files under 5–10 MB per page for fastest processing; very large multi-page fax archives are best split into smaller batches.
Preserve quality by using lossless embedding (no downsampling) or PostScript Level 2/3 output; avoid aggressive thresholding if fine text detail is required.
For batch conversion, group similar-resolution G3 files together and choose consistent page settings (size, margins) to prevent per-page reflow.
Be aware that G3 is strictly 1-bit (monochrome) fax data—color or grayscale detail cannot be recovered during conversion to PS.
