About NEF
NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) is Nikon's proprietary RAW image format used by all Nikon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras since 1999. Built on TIFF structure, NEF stores unprocessed 12-bit or 14-bit sensor data, preserving maximum dynamic range and color information for post-production flexibility. Files include embedded JPEG previews and comprehensive EXIF metadata including lens data, focus point, and metering information.

NEF is essential for photographers using Nikon cameras who need maximum editing flexibility. For sharing or web publishing, conversion to JPEG is necessary since RAW formats require specialized software like Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, or Nikon's own ViewNX-i and NX Studio applications.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) provides lossless compression with full alpha channel transparency, making it the go-to format for graphics, screenshots, and images requiring pixel-perfect fidelity. Created in 1996 as a patent-free GIF alternative, PNG uses DEFLATE compression and supports both indexed color (PNG-8) and truecolor with alpha (PNG-24/32). Files are 3-10× larger than equivalent JPEGs but preserve every pixel exactly.

PNG is universally supported and ideal for logos, UI elements, diagrams, and any content where transparency or lossless editing matters. For photographic content without transparency needs, JPEG typically offers better compression efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Nikon cameras use NRW format?
Nikon Coolpix compact cameras use NRW (Nikon RAW) format, distinct from NEF used in DSLRs:
Enthusiast Compacts: Coolpix P7800, P7700, P7100, P7000
Premium Compacts: Coolpix P330, P340, A series
NRW is Nikon's compact camera RAW format. While Nikon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras use NEF, Coolpix cameras with RAW capability use NRW—same underlying format with different file extension and slightly different metadata structure.
What is an NRW file?
NRW (Nikon RAW) is Nikon's RAW image format for Coolpix compact cameras. NRW stores unprocessed 12-14 bit sensor data directly from the camera's image sensor, providing maximum editing flexibility.
NRW files include embedded JPEG previews for quick viewing and comprehensive EXIF metadata. The format is essentially identical to NEF (Nikon's DSLR RAW format) but uses a different extension and metadata structure optimized for compact cameras.
Coolpix cameras with NRW support offer professional-level image quality in a compact form factor, making them popular for travel and street photography.
Why choose PNG over JPG?
What settings are used for the conversion?
Conversion settings:
- White balance: Preserved from your camera's as-shot settings
- Exposure: Auto-brightness applied for optimal results
- Color space: sRGB with standard gamma curve for accurate display
- Bit depth: 8-bit per channel (24-bit RGB)
- Compression: PNG lossless compression (no quality loss)
- Metadata: Stripped for privacy (no GPS, camera info, or shooting settings)
Can I edit NRW files in Lightroom or Photoshop?
Yes. Adobe Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC, and Photoshop (via Camera Raw) all support Nikon NRW files natively—same support as NEF files from Nikon DSLRs.
Other compatible software: Capture One, DxO PhotoLab, Nikon ViewNX-i and Capture NX-D (free from Nikon), Darktable (open source)
Converting to PNG is useful when you need lossless archival quality or sharing with people who don't have RAW-compatible software.

How are credits calculated for this conversion?
Cost: 1 credit per 5 MB
How it works:
- Files up to 5 MB: 1 credit

- 11-15 MB: 3 credits
- 16-20 MB: 4 credits
Example: A 5 MB photo = 1 credit. A 95 MB photo = 19 credits.
Why per-megabyte? Larger files require more resources (processing, bandwidth, storage).
What are my daily and monthly credit limits?
Credit allocations vary by account tier:
| Tier | Daily Limit | Monthly Limit |
|---|---|---|
