Convert RAW to PNG

We support all common RAW file formats including 3FR, ARW, CR2, CR3, CRW, DCR, DNG, ERF, FFF, MRW, NEF, NRW, ORF, PEF, RAF, RAW by manufacturers like Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax, Leica, Hasselblad, and more.

A .raw file contains unprocessed, uncompressed image data directly from a digital cameras sensor. Unlike JPEG or PNG formats, RAW files preserve all original image information, allowing photographers maximum control over post-processing adjustments like white balance, exposure, and color. These files are typically larger and require specific software for viewing and editing, but offer superior image quality and flexibility.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files are lossless image files that support transparency and millions of colors. Created in 1996 as an alternative to GIF, PNGs excel at displaying sharp graphics, logos, and text-heavy images. They maintain crisp edges and vibrant colors without quality loss during compression. While larger in file size than JPEGs, PNGs are ideal for web graphics requiring transparency or precise detail preservation.

PNG files maintain perfect image quality without compression artifacts, making them ideal for graphics with text, logos, and sharp edges. They support transparency and are perfect for screenshots, digital art, and designs requiring crisp details. While JPGs compress images by discarding data, PNGs use lossless compression, preserving every pixels exact color and clarity. This makes PNGs essential for: • Professional logos and branding • Screenshots and technical illustrations • Images requiring transparent backgrounds • Graphics with text or sharp lines • Digital art requiring multiple edits The main tradeoff is larger file sizes, but the superior quality and transparency support make PNGs the better choice for graphics requiring precision and clarity.

PNG files fully support transparency through an alpha channel, allowing both fully transparent and semi-transparent pixels. This makes PNG ideal for logos, icons, and images that need to blend seamlessly with different backgrounds. Unlike JPEG, PNGs lossless compression preserves sharp edges and transparency without quality degradation, though file sizes may be larger. The format supports both binary transparency (fully visible or invisible pixels) and variable transparency levels (partial opacity).

Converting from RAW to PNG typically results in some quality loss since RAW files contain uncompressed, unprocessed sensor data while PNG uses lossless compression. RAW files offer greater editing flexibility with higher bit depth, wider color gamut, and more detail in highlights and shadows. However, PNG maintains good image quality compared to lossy formats like JPEG, preserving sharp edges and text clarity without compression artifacts. For web use and general photography, PNGs quality loss from RAW is often imperceptible to viewers.
