UYVY to TCR conversion is the process of transforming image or frame data stored in the UYVY (YUV 4:2:2 packed) pixel format into the TCR format, a tiled or proprietary camera/thermal raster container used by some devices and software. This conversion reinterprets chroma subsampling, color channels, and packing to produce a TCR file that preserves visual information and is compatible with TCR-reading applications or devices.

UYVY files typically use the MIME type video/x-uyvy and are common in video capture and processing scenarios utilizing YUV 4:2:2 encoding. TCR files usually have the MIME type image/tcr and are favored for raster image storage with support for lossless compression codecs. Conversion often involves decoding the raw UYVY data and encoding it into the TCR compression format for efficient usage.
The TCR (.TCR) 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, TCR files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.
Easily convert your UYVY files to TCR format using our online converter. Designed for seamless and quick file transformation, our tool supports all common UYVY files and outputs high-quality TCR files without any hassle.
UYVY is a raw video pixel format primarily used for uncompressed video data, offering high fidelity but large file sizes. TCR, on the other hand, is a compressed raster image format optimized for efficient storage and easier sharing. While UYVY excels in preserving original video quality, TCR is better suited for applications requiring compact file sizes and quick loading times.
Keep individual source UYVY frames under 20–50MB for faster processing and easier memory handling; batch tools may handle larger totals but require more RAM.
To preserve quality, avoid unnecessary color-space conversions; when required, use high-precision YUV->RGB transforms and maintain 8–10 bit depth if the TCR variant supports it.
For large volumes, use batch conversion tools that support streaming conversion to prevent high memory use; test on a small subset first.
Be aware that TCR is device/proprietary oriented: some metadata or custom tiling in UYVY may not map perfectly, causing minor differences in layout or color interpretation.
