Convert X3F to SIXEL
Convert X3F images to SIXEL format, edit and optimize images online and free.
The X3F file extension, associated with Sigma Digital Camera Raw Image File, is a proprietary format created by Sigma Corporation for cameras with Foveon X3 sensors. X3F files store raw image data, capturing full-color information at each pixel for enhanced color accuracy and detailed post-processing. This format includes metadata, thumbnails, and preview images, offering photographers comprehensive control over their images. While primarily processed with Sigma Photo Pro software, X3F files are also supported by plugins for popular photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop.
The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
