How to convert 3FR to TIF
- Add your .3FR file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .TIF in a few seconds.
- Download your new .TIF file.
What to expect
- The RAW is demosaiced and white-balanced to a fixed raster; unlike the 3FR, the sensor data can't be re-interpreted afterward.
- TIFF stores the result losslessly, so no compression artifacts are added; expect large files.
- A color profile and Exif tags can be carried in the TIFF and usually survive.
Frequently asked questions
Does TIF preserve more quality than converting to JPG?
Yes. TIFF can store the rendered image losslessly and at 16-bit, so it keeps far more tonal detail from the Hasselblad RAW than lossy JPEG would.
Why convert a 3FR to TIF?
3FR is a proprietary Hasselblad RAW that is hard to open, while TIFF is a long-standing archival format accepted by virtually every image editor and print workflow.
Where does a TIF open?
TIFF opens natively in Windows Photos and macOS Preview and in essentially all professional image editors, without installing anything.
Why are the files so large, and what is still lost?
TIFF uses lossless or no compression, so files are big. And although image quality is retained, the RAW must still be rendered first, so you lose the non-destructive latitude to re-interpret the sensor data later.
