How do I convert a BMP file to X3F?

Upload your BMP file to the converter, select X3F as the output format, adjust any settings (like color space or compression if available), and click Convert. Within seconds, your X3F file will be ready for download and can be opened directly in Sigma Photo Pro.

Why would I convert from BMP to X3F?

BMP is an uncompressed raster format often used for simple graphics, while X3F is Sigma's raw format that stores sensor data for professional post-processing. Converting BMP to X3F lets you apply Sigma's advanced raw editing tools—such as white balance and exposure recalibration—to bitmap content, while potentially reducing file size via X3F's lossless compression.

What happens to BMP image properties during X3F conversion?

The conversion preserves pixel dimensions, bit depth (up to 16-bit per channel), and embedded ICC color profiles. However, BMP layers or alpha channels are flattened because X3F stores only RGB sensor data. All original metadata like DPI and EXIF are retained to ensure consistency in your raw workflow.
