Convert SID to TIF

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert SID to TIF?
Yes - SID converts to TIF.

The standard 'make it portable but keep georeferencing' conversion: MrSID -> GeoTIFF. QGIS (right-click layer > Export > Save As > GeoTIFF) or gdal_translate in.sid out.tif. Output is much larger (TIFF is lightly/un-compressed) but universally readable. DB lists tif/tiff with low counts - this is actually the most useful target.
