ORF (Olympus Raw Format) is the proprietary RAW image format used by Olympus cameras and the newer OM System brand. ORF files store unprocessed 12-bit to 14-bit sensor data from Micro Four Thirds sensors, preserving maximum dynamic range and color information. The format includes embedded JPEG previews, comprehensive EXIF metadata, and Olympus's acclaimed in-body image stabilization (IBIS) data.

ORF is the standard RAW format for Olympus/OM System cameras including the OM-1, OM-1 Mark II, OM-5, E-M1X, and PEN series. These cameras are known for exceptional weather sealing and computational photography features like High Res Shot and Live ND. For sharing or web publishing, conversion to JPEG is necessary since RAW formats require specialized software like Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, or OM System's OM Workspace.
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) leverages the AV1 video codec to deliver next-generation compression—typically 50% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality, with support for HDR, wide color gamut, and both lossy and lossless compression. Standardized by the Alliance for Open Media in 2019, AVIF offers 10-bit and 12-bit color depth plus full alpha transparency. Encoding is slower than JPEG or WebP, but visual quality per byte is exceptional.

AVIF is ideal for modern web delivery where cutting-edge compression and HDR support matter. Browser adoption reached critical mass in 2021-2023, with Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, and Safari 16.4+ now supporting AVIF natively. Encoding is 2-3× slower than WebP, but the compression gains typically justify the extra CPU time for server-side batch processing. For maximum compatibility, serve AVIF with WebP and JPG fallbacks using <picture> elements.
