Convert HRZ to AVIF

The HRZ file extension is associated with Slow Scan Television (SSTV), a method used by amateur radio operators to transmit still images via radio waves. HRZ files store images rendered from SSTV audio signals, typically as 256x240 pixel RGB bitmaps. These files can be viewed using software like XnViewMP or Logipole Konverter. SSTV allows for the transmission of images over high-frequency bands using single-sideband modulation (SSB). The HRZ format is not widely produced by specific programs, but several image viewers support it.

AVIF, or AV1 Image File Format, is a modern image format derived from the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It is designed to deliver high-quality images with superior compression efficiency compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG. This format supports advanced features such as HDR (High Dynamic Range), WCG (Wide Color Gamut), 10-bit color depth, and alpha transparency, making it ideal for web developers and digital content creators seeking to optimize performance and visual fidelity. Introduced in 2018, AVIF has rapidly gained adoption due to its open-source nature and effectiveness in reducing file sizes without compromising quality.
