X3F is the proprietary RAW image format used by Sigma cameras, generated by Foveon X3 sensors to capture high-quality image data. Unlike lossy formats like JPEG, X3F files preserve full sensor information, allowing photographers to adjust exposure, white balance, and color details without quality loss. This format is widely used in professional photography and high-end imaging workflows, particularly in scenarios requiring precise color accuracy and high dynamic range. Since X3F is a proprietary format, it is best processed using Sigma Photo Pro, the official software designed for optimal compatibility. Additionally, Adobe Lightroom supports X3F files, providing broader editing capabilities. If you need to convert X3F to more common formats like TIFF or JPEG, tools like ImageMagick can be used for conversion.
How to open and edit an X3F file?
Since X3F files are RAW format images, they require specialized software for viewing and editing. Recommended tools include:
Viewing & Editing:
- Sigma Photo Pro (Sigma's official software, best compatibility)
- Adobe Lightroom (supports basic RAW processing and editing)
Format Conversion:
- ImageMagick (convert X3F to PNG, TIFF, or JPG)
If you need broader software compatibility, consider converting X3F files to TIFF or DNG format for easier editing in Photoshop, GIMP, and other image processing applications.

What is an ICO file?
ICO is a specialized file format used by Windows to store icons for applications, folders, and websites. An ICO file can contain multiple images of different sizes and color depths, such as 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48, to ensure proper display across different interfaces. It supports transparency and can use lossless or lossy compression for optimization. In addition to Windows, ICO files are commonly used as favicons for websites. Recommended editors include IcoFX and GIMP, while ImageMagick can be used for format conversion.
How to open and edit an ICO file?
ICO files can be opened and edited using various tools on Windows and macOS. Here are some recommended tools: - Viewers and Editors: - IcoFX: A dedicated ICO editor with batch processing and high-quality icon creation features. - GIMP: An open-source image editor that supports ICO files for modification and export. - Adobe Photoshop: Can open and edit ICO files with the appropriate plugin installed. - Windows File Explorer: Double-clicking an ICO file allows previewing it directly in Windows. - Conversion Tools: - ImageMagick: A command-line tool that converts PNG, JPEG, and other formats to ICO or extracts icons from ICO files. - Online conversion tools: Services like CloudConvert and ConvertICO allow converting ICO files to PNG, SVG, and other formats. When creating an ICO file, it's recommended to use a 256×256 PNG image for conversion to ensure high-quality display on modern high-resolution screens.
