Higher quality means a larger file. 80–90 is invisible in most photos.

Why convert RAW to JPG

RAW files cannot be viewed on most devices and are 20–60 MB each. A quick, neutral conversion to JPG lets you share and review a shoot without opening Lightroom, while the RAW stays untouched for real editing later.

The conversion demosaics the sensor data, applies the camera’s white balance and a standard tone curve, and embeds an sRGB profile. It aims for a faithful, natural result rather than an automatic “enhanced” look.

How it works

  1. Drop RAW file onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
  2. Adjust the options if you need to — the defaults suit most cases.
  3. Press Convert. The file is uploaded securely, converted, and the result is offered for download.
  4. Download the JPG — individually or all at once.

About the formats

RAW · Camera RAW (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, ORF) · .cr2

Unprocessed sensor data from a digital camera: maximum editing latitude, but every brand has its own variant and nothing displays it without conversion.

  • A RAW file is not an image yet — it needs demosaicing, white balance and tone mapping, which is what the conversion does.
  • DNG is Adobe’s open RAW container; CR2/CR3 (Canon), NEF (Nikon) and ARW (Sony) are proprietary.
  • RAW files are typically 20–60 MB each.

JPG · JPEG image · .jpg

The universal photo format: small files, supported by every device, camera and website, but no transparency and slight quality loss on each save.

  • JPEG compression discards fine detail the eye rarely notices; quality 80–90 is usually indistinguishable from the original at a fraction of the size.
  • Re-saving a JPG repeatedly adds generation loss, so keep an original and export copies.
  • JPG has no alpha channel — transparent areas become white or black when converted from PNG.
