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.
LibRaw compiled to WebAssembly demosaics the sensor data in your browser, applies the camera’s white balance and a standard tone curve, and outputs sRGB. It aims for a faithful, natural result rather than an automatic “enhanced” look. A 24-megapixel file takes a few seconds on a laptop.
How to convert RAW to JPG
- Drop RAW file onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
- Adjust the options if you need to — the defaults suit most cases.
- Press Convert. The work happens on your device, so speed depends on your computer or phone.
- 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.
