What is the ARW file type?
.ARW files are Sony's proprietary RAW image format used by their Alpha series digital cameras. These files contain uncompressed, unprocessed image data directly from the camera's sensor, preserving maximum quality and detail. While larger than JPEG files, .ARW files offer photographers greater flexibility in post-processing, allowing adjustments to white balance, exposure, and color without quality loss.
What is the JPG file type?
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) files are widely used digital image formats that efficiently compress photographs and complex graphics. Using lossy compression, JPGs reduce file size by selectively discarding visual data while maintaining reasonable image quality. They support millions of colors and are ideal for sharing photos online, in emails, or storing digital memories. Common file extensions include .jpg and .jpeg.
Does JPG support transparency?
JPG/JPEG files do not support transparency. The format only handles fully opaque pixels and cannot display partially transparent or completely transparent areas. For images requiring transparency, use PNG or WebP formats instead. PNG files support both binary transparency (fully transparent or fully opaque) and alpha channel transparency (varying levels of transparency), while WebP offers modern compression with transparency support.
Do I lose quality when converting to JPG?
Yes, some quality loss is possible. Framebird renders the ARW RAW file into pixels and encodes a new JPG, and JPG output can lose detail. The default quality setting is 90, and quality 100 does not guarantee an identical image. The JPG is not an editable RAW file, and source metadata is not copied. Keep your original ARW for future editing.
