G4 to MOBIPOCKET Books conversion is the process of transforming images encoded with the G4 (Group 4 Fax, a bilevel CCITT compression commonly used for scanned documents and faxes) into the MOBI ebook format used by Mobipocket and many e-readers. This conversion repackages the raster image content and metadata into a MOBI container so the file can be opened and read on MOBI-compatible devices and apps.

G4 format is primarily used for storing fax images and has limited support on modern eBook readers. MOBIPOCKET Books (MOBI) is a widely accepted eBook format designed for enhanced readability and compatibility across devices. While G4 is specialized and niche, MOBI offers versatility and better integration with eBook ecosystems.
Keep source files reasonably sized: for scanned G4 TIFFs, aim for under 25 MB per page at 300 DPI to balance readability and output size.
Preserve quality by retaining original DPI and choosing "no downsampling" when converting to MOBI; if file size matters, downsample to 150–200 DPI for text-heavy pages.
For best results with text scanning, run OCR on the G4 TIFF first (if available) before packaging into MOBI to enable searchable text and selectable content.
Batch convert similar documents together and use consistent metadata templates to speed processing; large batches may be split into smaller jobs to avoid timeouts.

Format limitation: MOBI is optimized for e-readers and may not preserve advanced TIFF features (layers, non-bilevel color); G4 is bilevel only, so color/grayscale data won’t be recovered from G4 sources.
