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 over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our NEF converter.
