What is an X3F file?
X3F – Sigma RAW photo. X3F is a RAW photo format from Sigma: the data straight from the camera's sensor, before it is turned into a JPG. It keeps more detail to adjust, but needs a RAW converter to be opened.
X3F Converter →What is a TIFF file?
TIFF – TIFF image. TIFF keeps pictures without losing quality, can hold several pages in one file, and is common in scanning, printing and photography. Files are large.

Good to know
- X3F files are developed on our server with the camera's own white balance, then saved as TIFF. Expect a good-looking picture, not a replacement for your RAW editor.
- Tick Remove metadata in Options to leave out information stored in the picture, such as the camera and the place.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting X3F to TIFF free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my X3F pictures uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because a browser can't develop camera RAW files. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion.
How large can the X3F file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Can I change the size or quality of the TIFF?
Yes. Click Options next to the file to set a width and height, choose a quality, remove metadata and more. Only the settings that make sense for X3F to TIFF are shown.
Can I convert several X3F files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
