About RAW
RAW
RAW refers to a family of minimally processed image file formats produced by digital camera sensors (e.g., Canon CR2/CR3, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Adobe DNG). RAW files preserve all sensor data, giving photographers full control over white balance, exposure, and color during editing. RAW formats require dedicated software to decode.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a RAW image file?▼
RAW files contain unprocessed sensor data straight from a digital camera. They hold maximum detail and dynamic range for editing, but need conversion before sharing or viewing on most devices.
Why should I convert RAW to JPG?▼
RAW files are huge and cannot be opened by most apps, phones, or websites. Converting to JPG gives you a shareable, universally viewable photo.
Does converting RAW lose quality?▼
Developing RAW into JPG always involves choices — exposure and white balance get baked in. The output looks excellent for everyday use, but keep the RAW original for future re-editing.
Which RAW formats are supported?▼
Common camera RAW formats from major brands like Canon, Nikon, and Sony can be converted — drop your file in and it will be detected automatically.
Are my photos uploaded during conversion?▼
Never. RAW conversion happens locally in your browser — important when shoots are client work or otherwise confidential.
