TCR to FAX conversion is the process of transforming a TCR (Teleca/Brew compressed image/text container often used for eBooks and mobile content) file into a FAX (standard facsimile image format compatible with fax machines and fax-capable software) file so the content can be transmitted or archived in fax-compatible form. This conversion decodes TCR's compressed pages and re-encodes them as monochrome or grayscale fax images, preserving layout and text legibility for transmission or printing.

Preserve quality by exporting to Group 4 TIFF when possible and using 300–400 dpi for text-heavy pages to maintain legibility.
For photographic or grayscale content, convert to 8-bit grayscale FAX output or apply error-diffusion dithering before 1-bit conversion to avoid severe detail loss.
Batch convert by grouping multiple TCR pages into a single TIFF-FX multipage file; ensure consistent resolution and compression across pages.
