G4 to AZW3 conversion is the process of transforming image-based G4 files—often Group 4 CCITT-compressed bi-level (black-and-white) images used in scans and fax archives—into the AZW3 ebook format used by Kindle devices. This conversion rewraps or rasterizes image pages into an AZW3 container so they can be read on Kindle apps and devices while preserving page layout and legibility.
