PEF to BMP3
File Converter

PEF stands for Pentax Electronic File, and it is a raw image file format used by Pentax digital cameras. This format stores unprocessed image data directly from the camera's sensor, allowing photographers to maintain a high level of control over image adjustments such as exposure, color balance, and sharpness during post-processing. PEF files provide the potential for higher image quality, as they preserve more information than standard compressed image formats.

BMP3 (Bitmap Image File V3) is an image file format developed by Microsoft, commonly used for storing two-dimensional digital images in a wide range of color depths. While BMP files are capable of storing detailed images without any compression—preserving the original quality—they often result in large file sizes, making them less ideal for web usage or sharing.
