WMZ to TCR conversion is the process of transforming a WMZ file — a compressed Windows Media Center skin/image archive (typically a ZIP-compressed set of images or cursor/skin resources using a .wmz extension) — into a TCR file, a bitmap/monochrome image format used by older mobile devices and some handheld applications. This conversion repackages or rasterizes the source imagery into the TCR raster format so it can be displayed by devices or software that require TCR files.
