XC to HRZ conversion is the process of transforming image files saved in the XC format into the HRZ image format. This conversion repackages pixel data, metadata, and compression parameters so the resulting HRZ file can be opened or processed by applications that support HRZ while preserving visual quality and important image attributes.

Keep source XC files under 10–20 MB for faster single-file conversions in web tools; larger files are fine but will take longer.
To preserve quality, choose the HRZ high-quality/low-compression option or set quality above 85 when offered.
For batch conversion, group files with similar resolutions and color profiles to maintain consistent output and speed up processing.
Note that some XC-specific metadata (custom tags or proprietary layers) may not map directly to HRZ and could be dropped during conversion.
