About NEF files
NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) is a file format used by Nikon cameras to store images. It is a proprietary format, meaning that only Nikon cameras can create and use this file type. NEF files are uncompressed, high-resolution images that can be edited in Nikon software such as Capture NX-D or ViewNX-i. NEF files can also be converted to other formats, such as JPEG, TIFF, or PNG, using software such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or IrfanView. However, converting NEF files can be challenging, as the files are uncompressed and contain a lot of data, making them large and difficult to work with. Furthermore, the proprietary nature of NEF files means that some software may not be able to open them. For these reasons, it is often easier to use an online service such as Convert.Guru to convert NEF files. Convert.Guru is free and easy to use, and can quickly convert NEF files to other formats without any loss of quality.
The NEF Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best NEF converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
