How do I convert X3F to DDS online?

Upload your X3F file to the converter, select DDS as the output format, then configure compression options like BC1 or BC7 and enable mipmap generation if needed. Click Convert to process the raw Sigma image into a DirectDraw Surface texture, then download the .dds file. Batch conversion is also available for multiple X3F files.

Why convert X3F to DDS instead of keeping the raw image?

X3F is a raw raster image format used by Sigma cameras; it stores uncompressed sensor data for maximum editing flexibility. DDS is a DirectX texture format optimized for GPU memory and real-time rendering. Converting from X3F to DDS reduces file size and allows game engines to load textures directly, improving performance and compatibility.

Does X3F to DDS conversion preserve color depth and other image attributes?

The conversion demosaics the X3F sensor data and applies any configured color profile before encoding to DDS. You can select an uncompressed RGBA format to preserve full 8-bit per-channel color, or use BC7 compression for high-quality results with alpha. Note that EXIF metadata (ISO, exposure) is removed; only pixel data and mipmaps are retained in the DDS container.
