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.
