Convert SID to ECW

If you are looking for software that will allow you to convert the SID file to ECW, you can find information about it on this page.

Input file

SID

  • Full Name: LizardTech MrSID Image File Format
  • Developer: LizardTech
Output file

ECW

  • Full Name: Enhanced Compressed Wavelet Image Format
  • Developer: ERDAS

What is SID file?

The SID file extension is commonly associated with the .sid bitmap image format, which was originally developed by LizardTech as part of the Multi-resolution Seamless Image Database (MrSID) image codec. This high compression bitmap format utilizes a proprietary wavelet-based encoding algorithm in order to significantly reduce the size of digital photographs and images. [ ⏩ ] SID file extension

What is ECW file?

The ECW (Enhanced Compression Wavelet Image) file extension is used for storing image files, developed by ERDAS. It is used for compressing aerial and satellite imagery, creating much smaller file sizes without significant loss of image quality. ECW files are well supported by multiple GIS and CAD software products, such as Safe Software FME, ESRI ArcGIS, Global Mapper, CADCorp SIS, PCI Geomatics Image Components Suite, and more.

How to convert the file from SID to ECW?

To successfully convert the SID file to ECW, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.SID). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case ECW (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than ECW).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SID to ECW. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting SID files to ECW files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension ECW, while before this step we had the SID file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new ECW file, or not.

How can the file conversion help me?

The SID file conversion is useful in many situations. It often happens that you need to send someone a file (e.g. a graphic file) in a specific format, other than the one the selected file is currently encoded. In such a case, you should check whether it is possible to convert it (e.g. z SID to ECW), and if the conversion is possible - download the appropriate software.
