  • This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied.
  • Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1. Other classic camera variants require their own validation. Classic X3F sensor data is developed using factory colour calibration into 16-bit sRGB. Denoising and the Sigma Photo Pro look are not applied; noise and clipped colours can remain. Standard image outputs use 8-bit pixels. EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.

What happens when you convert Sigma X3F to SVG?

Raster image inside SVG

Output is a self-contained SVG containing one lossless 8-bit RGBA PNG at the developed image dimensions. It preserves rendered transparency, but creates no vector paths, editable text or new detail. Animation, layers, extra channels and original metadata are not retained.

RAW development

Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1. Other classic camera variants require their own validation. Classic X3F sensor data is developed using factory colour calibration into 16-bit sRGB. Denoising and the Sigma Photo Pro look are not applied; noise and clipped colours can remain. Standard image outputs use 8-bit pixels. EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.

Is Sigma X3F → SVG right for you?

Good choice when

  • SVG fits your delivery use: Diagrams & scalable symbols.
  • You need a portable SVG with embedded pixels.
  • You need a developed image for a non-RAW application.
  • You can validate the destination’s sample precision and colour interpretation.
  • You need a SVG-compatible workflow that can hold transparency added in a separate edit.

Probably not when

  • You need resolution-independent paths or vector editing.
  • You need the original sensor data and freedom to redevelop it.
  • You require identical samples without a defined colour and precision policy.
  • You expect automatic background removal or transparency.

Sigma X3F to SVG conversion details

Raster image inside SVG
Output is a self-contained SVG containing one lossless 8-bit RGBA PNG at the developed image dimensions. It preserves rendered transparency, but creates no vector paths, editable text or new detail. Animation, layers, extra channels and original metadata are not retained.
RAW development
Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1. Other classic camera variants require their own validation. Classic X3F sensor data is developed using factory colour calibration into 16-bit sRGB. Denoising and the Sigma Photo Pro look are not applied; noise and clipped colours can remain. Standard image outputs use 8-bit pixels. EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.

Metadata & colour
This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied. Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1.

EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.
Transparency
The target can store an alpha channel, but converting an opaque image does not create transparent areas. Removing a background is a separate editing step.
Compression
Sigma X3F: Depends on variant → SVG: Not a pixel codec Sigma X3F: Sigma documents X3F development through Photo Pro and in-camera JPEG processing on supported models. The related X3I format is a different multi-capture representation in the sd Quattro workflow. Neither the layered sensor concept nor several captures imply a Photoshop layer stack in every X3F. SVG: SVG describes geometry rather than using a lossy/lossless pixel codec. XML can be compressed for transport, but rasterization is a separate operation that fixes resolution and can discard editability.

Dimensions
Conversion keeps the decoded image dimensions unless you edit or resize it. Orientation is applied by supported decoders. ICO fits the image into one selected square size; PDF page layout and rendering DPI are configurable. Device, memory and codec limits still apply.
Metadata
This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied.

Common questions

Does SVG output trace vector paths?

Output is a self-contained SVG containing one lossless 8-bit RGBA PNG at the developed image dimensions. It preserves rendered transparency, but creates no vector paths, editable text or new detail. Animation, layers, extra channels and original metadata are not retained.

Will SVG still be an editable camera RAW?

Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1. Other classic camera variants require their own validation. Classic X3F sensor data is developed using factory colour calibration into 16-bit sRGB. Denoising and the Sigma Photo Pro look are not applied; noise and clipped colours can remain. Standard image outputs use 8-bit pixels. EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.

Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?
