toolkit Camera RAW files are large and often shot under contract, which makes uploading them to a stranger's server a poor trade twice over. Drop as many as you like above — DNG, CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF and several others are supported — and every one is decoded to JPG on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded, so a full memory card costs you no upload time and no confidentiality.
One tool, many RAW formats
Every camera maker has its own raw format: Canon uses CR2 and, more recently, CR3; Nikon uses NEF; Sony uses ARW; Fujifilm uses RAF. Adobe's DNG is an openly published format used both as a universal raw container and by Apple's ProRAW mode. This page accepts all of them and decodes whichever one you drop.
Mixed formats in a single batch
Because this page accepts every supported RAW format rather than one, a batch does not have to be uniform. Drop a card's whole DCIM folder, or a directory holding CR2 files from one body and NEF from another, and each file is recognised by its own extension and decoded with the right decoder. They are converted in turn and handed back as one .zip. There is no count limit and no charge — the decoding runs on your machine, not on a server that has to meter it.
Prefer a page for your exact format?
If you always shoot the same camera, the format-specific pages above carry the same tool with content tailored to that exact extension — worth a look if you want format-specific detail rather than the general RAW cluster.
Portrait frames, whatever the camera
Cameras do not rotate a vertical shot; they store it in the sensor's landscape layout and add a tag saying which way up the camera was. Each maker records that tag in its own way, and the decoder reads the right one for each format, so the vertical frames in a mixed batch all come out upright with no manual rotating afterwards.
One JPG quality for the whole batch
The quality you choose — 100%, 92%, 80% or 60% — applies to every file in the batch, whatever its source format. 92% is the default and a sound choice for proofs and delivery; 80% makes lighter files for contact sheets or anything headed for email. No JPG holds everything a RAW file does, so keep the originals.
Frequently asked questions
Which RAW formats does this accept?
DNG, CR2, CR3, NEF, NRW, ARW, SRF, SR2, RAF, RW2, PEF, ORF, ERF, 3FR, and IIQ — including Apple ProRAW, which is saved as a DNG.
Can I drop a whole memory card folder?
Yes. Drop the folder and every RAW file inside it is queued, even if the formats are mixed — each one is detected individually. There is no limit on how many, and the converted JPGs are offered as a single .zip at the end.
Do my RAW files leave my computer?
No. RAW decoding and JPG encoding both run in your browser via WebAssembly. No file, and no part of one, is transmitted.
Is the JPG the same as the one my camera would have made?
No. A camera's own JPEG is processed with its maker's colour profiles and picture settings. This tool develops the sensor data with its own rendering, so colour and contrast will differ somewhat.
Is there a JPG to RAW converter?
No, and there cannot really be one: a RAW file is the sensor's unprocessed readout, and a JPG no longer contains it. This page only decodes RAW.
Is there a dedicated page for my specific camera format?
DNG, CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, and RAF each have their own page with format-specific detail — see the links above.
