ARW Converter

What is a ARW file?

ARW file is associated with Sony Alpha Raw image file or ArtStudio project file. As ARW is based on TIFF format as a raw image format that collects all information from the Sony camera sensor, these files are enormous and impossible to send or share before compression to a more usable image format. Even though ARW is acting as a digital negative, there is a way to manipulate it before compression. To open the ARW file, you can use programs such as Microsoft Windows Photos and Windows Live Photo Gallery on Windows OS or Preview for Mac OS. However, you’ll be required to install the Sony Raw Driver to be able to use these programs.

NEF Converter

What is a NEF file?

As an exclusive Nikon format, NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) contains a raw image with camera sensor metadata. These data include camera data, lens data, sharpness, contrast, white balance, and similar image information, which are stored separately and can be manipulated without affecting the original photo. Another feature of NEF format is that it preserves 12-bit to 14-bit data, which ensures an extraordinary tonal range of an image. NEF files are not compressed, which results in substantial sized files with excellent image quality. If you don’t have access to Nikon proprietary software, you can open and edit NEF files with the following apps Adobe Photoshop, IrfanView, Able RAWer, etc.
