toolkit Sony ARW raw files convert to JPG entirely on your own computer here — add as many as you like above and the batch is 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 the raw format of Sony's Alpha cameras, from the early A-mount DSLRs to today's E-mount mirrorless bodies, and of the RX-series compacts. Two older Sony extensions, SRF and SR2, predate it; 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 ARW to JPG
An ARW opens in Sony's own software and in raw editors, and in little else. To post a picture, send it to a client or print it at a kiosk you need a JPG, and a JPG of the same frame is a fraction of an ARW's size. The raw file stays untouched for editing later.
Portrait shots are turned the right way
A Sony body writes a vertical shot in sensor layout and adds an orientation tag. The tag is read from the ARW and applied to the pixels, so the JPG displays upright even where orientation metadata is ignored.
JPG quality
Choose 100%, 92%, 80% or 60% on the control line; 92% is the default. High-resolution Alpha bodies produce large JPGs at the top settings, so 80% is worth considering when the batch is headed for the web or a shared album.
Frequently asked questions
Do ARW files get uploaded when I convert them?
No. Conversion happens in your browser with WebAssembly, on the computer you are sitting at; not one ARW is sent anywhere.
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.
How much smaller is the JPG than the ARW?
Much smaller. An ARW runs from about 20 MB to over 100 MB depending on the camera and its raw compression setting; a JPG of the same frame at 92% is typically a small fraction of that.
Does this convert JPG to ARW?
No. Only decoding is supported; no tool here writes Sony raw files.
Does the JPG match Sony's Creative Style or Creative Look?
No. Those are in-camera processing choices, stored as settings rather than baked into the raw data. The conversion here develops the sensor data with its own rendering, so colour and contrast can differ from the camera's JPEG, and edits made in a separate editor are not carried over.
