How It Works

How to Convert SIX

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your SIX file or drag & drop it.

Locate your SIX file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Choose the format you want to convert your SIX file to and click 'Convert'.

Choose your desired format based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download your converted file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your converted file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

What is SIX (DDS Image Format)?

SIX is a proprietary image format associated with DDS (Digital Data Systems) used primarily in specialized applications. It's not widely used in mainstream graphics applications.

The format may contain raster image data with various encoding and compression options depending on the specific implementation and version.

Due to its specialized and proprietary nature, SIX files are generally encountered only in specific industry contexts or legacy systems that were designed to work with this format.

How to open SIX?

SIX files typically require specialized software specific to the system or application that created them, often proprietary tools associated with DDS systems.

Some general-purpose image conversion utilities with comprehensive format support, such as XnView or IrfanView with plugins, might be able to open certain variations of SIX files.

If you need to access data in SIX files and don't have access to the original software, contacting the creator of the files or seeking specialized conversion services may be necessary.

SIX is Developed by: Digital Data Systems

SIX was Released on: Varies by implementation

Working with SIX Files

If you encounter SIX files and need to work with them, first try to identify the specific variant or implementation of the format based on the context or source of the files.

For long-term accessibility, consider converting SIX files to more standard formats like TIFF or PNG if you have access to software that can read the original format.

Due to the proprietary nature of the format, documentation may be limited, so consulting with experts familiar with the specific systems that use SIX files may be necessary for proper handling.
