toolkit Drop as many Sony ARW files as you like above to convert them to JPG right here, in this browser tab, with the batch returned as one .zip. Nothing is uploaded, so an entire shoot converts without a single file travelling anywhere — no upload wait, and nothing of a client's on a server you do not control.
What ARW is
ARW is Sony's raw image format. Sony also uses the related SRF and SR2 extensions on some older camera models; all three are accepted here and decoded the same way.
No batch limit, because there is no server
Online converters usually meter batches: ten files on the free tier, a queue you wait in, a size ceiling per upload. None of that applies here, because nothing is uploaded and no one is paying for CPU time on your behalf — the decoding happens on the machine you are already sitting at. What bounds a batch is that machine's speed and memory, and nothing else. Add a whole shoot and save it as one .zip.
Why convert it
An ARW keeps far more of the sensor's original data than a JPEG, which is why photo editors want it — but most viewers, messaging apps, and websites can't open it directly. Converting to JPG gives you something you can view, share, or upload anywhere.
Orientation is preserved
The camera's orientation tag stored in the ARW is read and applied before the pixels are returned, so the output JPG comes out the right way up rather than needing a manual rotate.
Quality control
You can set the output JPEG quality before converting. Since an ARW starts with substantially more detail than a JPEG, a higher quality setting is worth considering if file size isn't a concern.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding and JPG encoding both happen locally in your browser via WebAssembly; the ARW file never leaves your device.
Is there a limit on how many ARW files I can convert?
No. There is no per-batch cap, no daily quota and no paid tier — the conversion runs on your own device, so there is nothing for anyone to meter. Very large batches are limited only by your computer's memory, and the page pauses and tells you rather than losing results.
Does this also accept SRF or SR2 files?
Yes — SRF and SR2 are Sony's older raw extensions and are accepted on this page alongside ARW.
Will orientation be correct?
Yes — the ARW's own orientation tag is read and applied automatically before conversion.
Can I convert a JPG back into ARW?
No. ARW decoding is one-way here — there's no encoder that writes ARW files.
Does this apply Sony Creative Style settings or in-camera edits?
No. This performs a straightforward decode of the raw sensor data in the file; in-camera picture settings and any post-capture edits made in a separate editor aren't applied here.
