Convert G3 to EPSI

The G3 file extension refers to the CCITT Group 3 Fax Image, a standardized format developed by the Consultative Committee for International Telegraphy and Telephony (CCITT), now known as ITU-T. This format was created to efficiently compress black-and-white fax documents for transmission over telephone lines. It employs a method called Modified Huffman Coding for data compression, enabling reduced transmission time and bandwidth usage. G3 was widely adopted in the 1980s and 1990s as the primary standard for fax transmissions, ensuring compatibility across different fax machines and systems.

EPSI, standing for Encapsulated PostScript Interchange, is a file extension used primarily in the printing and graphic design industries. It stores PostScript data along with a low-resolution preview in bitmap format, facilitating the visualization of graphic content in layout applications without needing to interpret the complex PostScript code. Introduced in the 1980s by Adobe Systems, EPSI files serve as a bridge between different software applications, ensuring consistent and high-quality output in various publishing workflows. Their efficiency and adaptability have made them a standard for exchange of graphic data in professional environments.
