UYVY to MOBIPOCKET Books conversion is the process of transforming image data stored in the UYVY (YUV 4:2:2 packed) video/image pixel format into the MOBI (Mobipocket) eBook container, typically by first extracting or converting UYVY frames to common image files and then packaging those images into a MOBI book. This conversion enables image-heavy content captured or stored in UYVY to be viewed on MOBI-compatible eReaders by rasterizing the YUV data to standard RGB images and embedding them into the MOBI structure.

UYVY files use a YUV 4:2:2 video pixel format with the MIME type video/uyvy, commonly found in video capture and processing applications. MOBIPOCKET Books use the MIME type application/x-mobipocket-ebook and support features like DRM and advanced formatting for eBooks. The conversion typically involves extracting readable content from UYVY data and packaging it into MOBI format for compatibility with eReaders.
The MOBIPOCKET Books (.MOBI) 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, MOBIPOCKET Books files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.
Looking to convert your UYVY files into the MOBIPOCKET Books format? Our online UYVY to MOBI converter offers a simple and efficient way to transform your files without hassle. With support for both file types, you can easily prepare your content for MOBI-compatible eReaders and devices.
UYVY is primarily a video pixel format used in image and video processing, while MOBIPOCKET Books is an eBook format designed for reading text-based content on eReaders. UYVY files are generally large and specialized for media, whereas MOBI files are compressed and optimized for digital books, making them easier to store and read on portable devices.
Keep individual extracted images below 2–5 MB when possible to preserve reading performance on eReaders; for long documents, target 100–300 KB per image after reasonable compression.
Preserve quality by converting UYVY to a lossless intermediate (PNG/TIFF) if you plan heavy editing; use JPEG with quality ~80% for final MOBI to balance size and visual fidelity.
For batch conversions, script the pipeline: decode UYVY -> convert to RGB images -> resize/dpi adjust -> package into MOBI; test a small batch first for best settings.
Format limitation: UYVY stores chroma-subsampled video frames (4:2:2) and must be color-converted to RGB—direct embedding into MOBI requires rasterization; MOBI has limited color handling and may downsample images for older devices.
