SUN to UYVY conversion is the process of transforming an image or video frame stored in the Sun Raster (SUN) format into the UYVY packed YUV 4:2:2 pixel format. This conversion re-encodes RGB or indexed raster data from legacy SUN files into a chroma-subsampled UYVY stream useful for broadcast, video processing, or hardware that expects YUV422 packed pixels.

SUN files often use the image/x-sun-raster MIME type and contain raster graphics primarily used in Unix systems. UYVY format corresponds to video/x-uyvy MIME types and is commonly used in video codecs and hardware that support YUV 4:2:2 color encoding. This conversion is essential for integrating SUN raster data into modern video workflows and codecs.
The UYVY (.UYVY) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like SUN.
While specific technical details aren't available here, UYVY files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.
Our Online SUN to UYVY Converter provides a hassle-free way to convert your SUN files to the UYVY format. Designed for speed and accuracy, this tool supports seamless conversion without the need for additional software. Whether you are working with video or image data, our converter ensures compatibility and quality in every conversion.
SUN files typically store raw image or video data in a format specific to certain platforms, which can limit their compatibility. UYVY is a popular YUV 4:2:2 packed pixel format widely used in video processing due to its efficient compression and color fidelity. Converting SUN to UYVY makes your media files easier to edit and more broadly supported.
Keep individual SUN files under 100–250 MB for fast browser-based conversions; very large legacy rasters are slower to upload and process.
To preserve color fidelity when converting 24-bit SUN to UYVY, avoid aggressive color quantization; enable high-quality color space conversion (sRGB to YUV matrix) and disable forced palette reduction.
For paletted 8-bit SUN images, expand to truecolor RGB before converting to UYVY to prevent banding; use dithering if you must retain a reduced palette.
Use batch conversion tools or command-line utilities for many files; process files in groups and monitor memory use because UYVY doubles chroma storage relative to heavily compressed formats.

Format limitation: UYVY is a 4:2:2 YUV packed format (8-bit components) so it cannot represent higher chroma resolutions or higher bit-depths without additional container/codec workarounds.
