Convert WMF to G3

The Windows Metafile (WMF) is a graphic file format used by Microsoft Windows to store vector and bitmap image data. Originating in the late 1980s, WMF files enable the efficient exchange of graphical content between applications. They serve functions like clip art storage, image rendering in documents, and transferring graphics across different software platforms. Designed to be device-independent, WMF ensures consistent image presentation regardless of the output device, maintaining visual fidelity across varying screen resolutions and printer outputs. As a legacy format, its use has diminished with the advent of more advanced graphical file formats.

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.
