PEF to SIXEL
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.

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.
