SID File Type
The SID file extension is a file extension for a file that contains a list of colors used in the RGB color model. These RGB colors are converted to HEX color codes and saved as an image. This is done by taking three 8-bit bytes from the end of the RGB color data. The SID file extension is typically used for saving images that are used as background options on computers, TVs, monitors, billboards, etc.
