This conversion typically involves processing raw image data (demosaicing, color correction, and resizing) and embedding the resulting images into an AZW3 container, often combined with text or layout metadata for ebook consumption.

IIQ files are raw image files primarily used in professional photography, capturing unprocessed camera data. In contrast, AZW3 is an ebook file format designed for digital book reading on Amazon Kindle devices. While IIQ focuses on image quality and detail, AZW3 is optimized for text and layout presentation.
Keep individual IIQ exports under 25–50MB for optimal processing speed; convert large IIQ files to high-quality TIFF or JPEG intermediates if needed.
Preserve quality by applying raw processing (white balance, exposure, lens corrections) before conversion; avoid heavy upscaling inside the converter.
For ebooks, downscale images to target Kindle resolution (around 1200–1600 px long edge) to reduce AZW3 size while maintaining visual quality.
Use batch conversion tools when handling multiple IIQ files; batch-export to JPEG/TIFF first to speed up AZW3 compilation.
