What file formats do you support?

We support over 100 file formats including images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), and many more specialized formats.

Yes, absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all file transfers. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after conversion, and we never store or access your personal data.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size for free users is 100MB per file. Premium users can convert files up to 1GB. For larger files, we recommend our batch processing feature.

How long does conversion take?

Most files convert in under 30 seconds. The exact time depends on file size and format complexity. Our advanced algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversion while maintaining quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and convert up to 50 files simultaneously. This is perfect for bulk conversions and saves significant time.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for basic conversions. However, creating a free account gives you access to batch processing, file history, and priority support.

Why Choose Our Converter?

Convert Hasselblad 3FR raw captures to PAM raster images with predictable output and fast browser-side processing.

Fast Local Processing

Conversions run in the browser using efficient decoders for rapid 3FR to PAM rasterization without server upload.

High-Fidelity Raster Output

Preserves reconstructed Bayer data as full-resolution PAM pixels, minimizing recomposition artifacts where possible.

Batch Friendly

Process dozens of 3FR files in groups; memory-aware batching reduces slowdowns and keeps throughput steady.

Editing-Ready Files

PAM output is a simple uncompressed raster format widely accepted by image editors and scientific tools.

Client-Side Privacy

Files are decoded in local memory; nothing is uploaded to remote servers during conversion by default.

Adjustable Decode Options

Choose demosaic strength and target bit depth when available to balance sharpness, noise, and size.

How to Convert Files

Follow these simple steps to convert your files

Upload Source File

Select or drag and drop your 3FR Hasselblad raw files into the converter.

Adjust Settings

Choose demosaic algorithm, white balance handling, and bit depth to control output fidelity and size.

Convert

Click convert to decode raw sensor data and render pixel data into PAM in the browser.

Download Result

Save PAM files or ZIP archives; verify color and metadata in your editing software.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare 3FR Inputs

Verify shutter, ISO and white balance EXIF in 3FR before decoding to set accurate white balance parameters
Discard embedded low-res previews if you need full sensor data to avoid accidentally exporting a thumbnail
Synchronize camera maker notes interpretation with decoder settings to avoid unexpected black levels
Check if 3FR contains multiple embedded images and select the primary raw frame for accurate PAM output
Convert copies instead of originals when experimenting with demosaic and bit-depth choices on 3FR files

Choose PAM Encoding

Select 16-bit PAM when preserving Hasselblad sensor dynamic range from 3FR for heavy editing
Use 8-bit PAM only for review or web preview to drastically reduce file size after 3FR decode
Be aware that PAM is typically uncompressed — expect larger files than 3FR; plan storage accordingly
If color-critical, export PAM in a linear or tagged color space that your editor recognizes from 3FR metadata
When archiving, pair PAM with a metadata sidecar extracted from 3FR to retain EXIF/maker notes

Integrate with Editors

Open PAM in ImageMagick or Netpbm tools and explicitly declare bit depth that matches the 3FR decode
Load PAM into RAW-capable editors with matching color matrix and white balance to reproduce intended tones
Test a small 3FR-to-PAM sample through your pipeline to check shadow roll-off and highlight reconstruction
When moving to Photoshop or GIMP, confirm that the PAM plugin reads the per-channel precision you exported
Automate post-processing by scripting PAM conversions with consistent demosaic parameters for all 3FR files

Manage Performance & Privacy

Process 3FR batches of 20-50 files in sequence to balance memory usage and speed in browser environments
Close other memory-intensive tabs to give the decoder more RAM for large 3FR files and high bit-depth PAM
Keep conversions local to avoid uploading sensitive maker notes or location data contained in 3FR
If network transfer is needed, compress PAM outputs into ZIP to reduce transfer overhead despite PAM size
Validate outputs immediately after conversion to ensure no silent clipping or channel overflow occurred

Fast Processing

Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.

Client-Side Privacy

No media leaves your device.

Broad Compatibility

Output files work across all operating systems.

Pro Tip

For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
