IIQ to SVG Converter

IIQ (Intelligent Image Quality) is the proprietary RAW format developed by Phase One), a Danish manufacturer of medium-format digital camera systems and backs, introduced in 2008 with the P65+ digital back. IIQ files capture the unprocessed readout from Phase One's large-area CCD and CMOS sensors — ranging from 40 to 151 megapixels in current systems — at 16 bits per channel, preserving the full dynamic range, color depth, and spatial resolution of the sensor. The format comes in two variants: IIQ Large (IIQ L), which uses lossless compression for zero-quality-loss archival, and IIQ Small (IIQ S), which applies visually lossless compression to reduce file sizes by approximately 40-60% with negligible quality impact. Phase One's sensor calibration data, including per-pixel defect maps, fixed-pattern noise profiles, and factory color calibration, is embedded in the IIQ file, enabling precise correction during RAW development. One advantage is sheer resolving power and tonal depth: IIQ files from Phase One's flagship systems deliver the highest pixel counts and widest dynamic range available in commercial photography, making them the standard format for museum digitization, fine art reproduction, aerial surveying, and commercial advertising where maximum detail is non-negotiable. Tight integration with Capture One is another key strength — Phase One develops both the camera hardware and the RAW processing software, ensuring that IIQ files receive optimized demosaicing, color rendering, and lens correction tuned to each specific camera-lens combination.
