Convert HRZ to MONO

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.

The MONO file extension stands for "Monochrome Bitmap" and is used for storing raw bi-level bitmap images, which are essentially black-and-white images without any color or grayscale. This format is primarily utilized in applications requiring simple, high-contrast images, such as fax transmissions and certain types of document scanning. The MONO format, characterized by its least-significant-byte first order, has been supported by various image processing tools. Its history traces back to early bitmap graphics needs, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency in image storage and processing.
