How It Works

How to Convert YUV

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your YUV file or drag & drop it.

Locate your YUV file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Choose the format you want to convert your YUV file to and click 'Convert'.

Choose your desired format based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download your converted file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your converted file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

What is YUV (YUV Color Space)?

YUV is a color space representation used primarily in analog and digital video systems. Similar to YCbCr, it encodes images by separating brightness ('Y') from color information ('U' and 'V' chroma components).

The format was originally developed for compatibility between color and black-and-white television systems. In YUV, the Y component carries luminance information that can be displayed on monochrome devices, while U and V carry color difference information.

YUV is fundamental to various video encoding standards and is used in broadcast television, video compression algorithms, and camera systems. While technically different from YCbCr (used in digital systems), the terms are often used interchangeably in practice.

How to work with YUV?

YUV data can exist in various planar or packed formats. Video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve can work with YUV content within supported container formats.

For raw YUV data, specialized tools like YUView, FFmpeg, and GStreamer provide capabilities to view, analyze, and convert YUV streams and files.

Professional video engineering tools and scope displays often provide ways to visualize and analyze YUV signals for broadcast and production quality control.

YUV is Developed by: Various television standards organizations

YUV was Released on: 1950s (for color television compatibility)

How to convert YUV?

To convert raw YUV data to standard video or image formats, our specialized converter handles various YUV sampling patterns and bit depths to ensure accurate color reproduction in the target format.

For video engineers working with YUV sources, our conversion tools support multiple YUV packing arrangements (planar, semi-planar, interleaved) and sampling ratios (4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0).

When converting from YUV, our service provides color space transformation options to ensure proper handling of broadcast standards (BT.601, BT.709, BT.2020) for accurate colors in the final output.
