RAW to JPG (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG…)
Drop RAW photos, or browse
CR2 · NEF · ARW · DNG · ORF · RW2 · RAF & more
Drop one or many RAW files — CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, ORF, RW2, RAF and friends.
Each file is developed in turn; the list shows progress and the finished pixel dimensions.
A single photo downloads directly as .jpg with a preview shown; multiple photos arrive as one ZIP.
Originals are untouched — you keep shooting RAW, this just makes shareable copies.
A RAW file is the sensor’s unprocessed capture — maximum editing latitude, minimum compatibility. Clients can’t open it, chat apps refuse it, and the web can’t display it. This converter develops RAW files into universal JPGs using dcraw, the venerable open-source RAW engine, compiled to run inside your browser: demosaicing, camera white balance and gamma are applied on your own machine, and the result downloads as a normal JPG.
It reads the classic formats that make up the vast majority of RAW files in circulation: Canon CR2/CRW, Nikon NEF/NRW, Sony ARW/SR2, Adobe DNG, Olympus ORF, Panasonic RW2, Fujifilm RAF, Pentax PEF and more. Drop a whole shoot at once and every frame is developed in sequence, then delivered together as a single ZIP.
100% private“RAW files carry serial numbers, timestamps and GPS positions on top of the image itself. Developing them here happens entirely inside your browser tab — no upload, no server-side processing, no one else’s hardware touching your negatives.”
The in-browser engine is dcraw, which stopped learning new formats around 2018 — Canon CR3, Nikon Z-series NEF variants and other recent formats are outside its vocabulary. For those, convert with the camera vendor’s software or Adobe DNG Converter first; classic CR2/NEF/ARW/DNG files work directly.
Close, but not identical. Camera JPGs apply the manufacturer’s tone curves, noise reduction and lens corrections; this converter applies standard development with camera white balance. Think of it as a clean, neutral rendition — fine for sharing, and your RAW is still there for careful editing.
A 24-megapixel RAW typically develops in a few seconds on a laptop; phones take longer. The work runs in a background thread, so the page stays responsive while the list shows per-file progress.
