QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert SQLITE to MDF?
No - not a direct conversion.

No conversion is possible or useful. A .sqlite is a self-contained relational database; an .mdf file is a raw optical disc image paired with an .mds descriptor used by Alcohol 120% and DAEMON Tools. The two formats serve completely different purposes with no shared data model.

Why convert SQLITE to MDF?

A .sqlite file is a self-contained binary relational database readable by any SQLite-linked application without a server. An .mdf file is a raw optical disc image in the Alcohol 120% format, paired with a companion .mds layout file for mounting or burning disc content. The two formats belong to entirely different domains - structured data storage versus optical media duplication - and share no data model or use case.

Quality & what to watch

  • No tool performs this conversion because it has no valid use case; the formats are completely unrelated.
  • Do not confuse the Alcohol 120% .mdf disc image with the SQL Server Primary Data File, which shares the same extension for an entirely different purpose.
  • If you need to move SQLite data to another database system, export tables to CSV using SQLiteStudio and import into the target application.
