Convert MONO to EPSF

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.

An EPSF, or Encapsulated PostScript File, is a graphics file format used primarily in the publishing and printing industries for embedding high-resolution images within other PostScript documents. Introduced by Adobe Systems in the late 1980s, EPSF files enable seamless integration of complex visual elements, maintaining quality and device independence. They encapsulate both vector and raster graphics, allowing detailed illustrations and photographs to be embedded without loss of resolution, facilitating professional-quality output across various platforms and devices.
