UYVY to FAX conversion is the process of transforming raw or interleaved UYVY YUV 4:2:2 image/video frame data into a fax-compatible image format (typically monochrome TIFF or Group 3/4 fax-encoded file) so it can be transmitted or stored as a FAX document. The conversion involves color-to-grayscale conversion, downsampling or dithering, and encoding to the bilevel compression used by fax standards.

The UYVY format typically uses the MIME type 'video/uyvy' and is common in video capture and processing applications supported by codecs like UYVY422. FAX files utilize MIME types such as 'image/fax' and are mainly used for scanned document transmission, often compressed with Modified Huffman or MR/MR/MMR encoding. Both formats serve distinct roles in multimedia and document handling workflows.
The FAX (.FAX) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like UYVY.
While specific technical details aren't available here, FAX files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.

UYVY is a raw video pixel format primarily used for image processing and video capture, maintaining high color fidelity. In contrast, FAX is a specialized image file format designed for efficient document transmission over fax machines and similar communication protocols. While UYVY files are larger and more complex, FAX files are optimized for compatibility and compression suited to fax systems.
Keep individual page images under 250–300 KB when possible to speed transmission; higher DPI and lack of strong compression can produce multi-megabyte files.
Preserve important detail by converting using luminance-based grayscale then applying adaptive dithering before bilevel encoding to avoid losing text and thin lines.
For bulk workflows, batch-convert UYVY frames to multipage TIFF (G4) to reduce size and preserve sequence; test a single page first to tune thresholds.
Note format-specific limitation: UYVY is a color-subsampled 4:2:2 format and must be converted to bilevel; color information is discarded and chroma artifacts can affect fine detail unless properly filtered.
