About RAW files

RAW File Types: A Comprehensive Overview

RAW files are unprocessed images captured directly by digital cameras. They preserve all details without compression, providing photographers with high-quality, editable images. Popular RAW file formats include CR2 (Canon), NEF (Nikon), and ARW (Sony).

Converting RAW files is crucial for easy sharing and editing. Common target formats include JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and BMP. Software options for conversion include Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, which offer comprehensive editing and conversion tools. Another option is Darktable, an open-source alternative for Linux, macOS, and Windows users.

While converting RAW files, consider the potential loss of quality and metadata. RAW files store extensive data that might be lost in conversion, reducing editing flexibility. Moreover, large file sizes can make storage and processing challenging.

Using RAW files has drawbacks. They are not universally supported, necessitating conversion for broader accessibility. The files are larger, consuming more storage and slowing down processing. Therefore, using a reliable conversion tool is essential.

Although desktop software offers robust solutions, the free and user-friendly Convert.Guru website simplifies the process. To convert your RAW files easily and safely, simply drag and drop them onto the Convert.Guru interface. This intuitive platform ensures quick conversion without compromising on quality or security, making it the most convenient choice for everyday users.

The RAW 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 RAW converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
