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?

Fast, reliable 3FR to SGI conversion optimized for photographers and batch workflows.

Fast Batch Processing

Multi-file conversion pipeline tuned for batches, minimizing per-image overhead and queue times.

Preserve Raw Detail

Converts 3FR raw sensor data into raster SGI files with attention to tonal detail and dynamic range.

Legacy SGI Support

Produces classic SGI/RGB(A) files suitable for legacy visualization and high-end compositing pipelines.

Scalable Workflows

Designed for 10–200 image batches with predictable timing and repeatable naming conventions.

Configurable Options

Adjust color space and output bit depth settings to match downstream editors or renderers.

Local Client Processing

Conversion runs in-browser memory buffers to reduce external upload of raw camera files where possible.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare 3FR Raw Inputs

Verify camera white balance in 3FR metadata to guide demosaic output
Apply sensor-specific noise reduction before batch export to SGI to reduce artifacts
Convert per-camera model to avoid mixed color matrices causing tone shifts
Expose-to-the-right adjustments in raw processing preserve shadow detail when exporting to SGI
Use lossless intermediate processing (16-bit) when you need maximum color precision

SGI Encoding Choices

Select 16-bit SGI if downstream compositor requires high precision channels
Choose RGBA SGI only when a valid mask or alpha is available from preprocessing
Prefer uncompressed SGI for render farms expecting byte-exact inputs
Use 8-bit SGI to reduce storage when file-size constraints trump subtle gradation
Compare SGI and EXR outputs if HDR or deep color is required by your pipeline

Workflow Integration

Map 3FR camera model to color profile before conversion to maintain color consistency
Keep original 3FR files alongside SGI exports to allow reprocessing with different presets
Batch by capture settings (ISO/aperture) to reduce the need for per-image color tweaks
Test SGI compatibility with your compositor on a subset before full batch conversion
Use consistent filename tokens to sync SGI outputs with existing project manifests

Verification & Performance

Sample-check highlights and shadows at 100% after conversion to detect clipping
Run batches of 20–50 files to maintain memory headroom and avoid browser slowdowns
Store critical EXIF/XMP sidecars if tag preservation is required downstream
Close heavy browser tabs during conversion to maximize CPU and memory for demosaic tasks
Inspect alpha channel content in your compositor to ensure mask integrity post-export

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.
