ARW to SIXEL
File Converter

ARW is a raw image file format used by Sony digital cameras, capturing unprocessed data from the camera’s sensor. This format provides photographers with extensive flexibility in post-processing, allowing for adjustments to exposure, color balance, and other settings without loss of image quality, but it results in larger file sizes and requires specialized software to view and edit.

SIXEL is a bitmap graphics format that uses six pixels per character cell to represent images, primarily developed for DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) terminals in the 1980s. It allows for the display of images directly in terminal emulators that support the SIXEL standard, making it possible to visualize graphics in command-line environments without relying on external graphics programs.
