RAW to SIXEL
File Converter

The RAW image file format is a generic term for a variety of image formats used by different digital camera manufacturers. RAW files store unprocessed data from the camera's sensor, providing photographers with the ability to manipulate settings like exposure, white balance, and sharpness during post-processing, which can result in higher image quality. Unlike JPEG and other compressed formats, RAW files retain a much broader range of color and luminance values, offering more flexibility for editing but also resulting in larger file sizes.

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.
