RAW image files contain minimally processed data directly from a digital camera's image sensor, preserving maximum detail and dynamic range for post-production editing. Unlike compressed formats like JPEG, RAW files retain all captured light information with 12-14 bit color depth, enabling non-destructive adjustments to exposure, white balance, shadows, and highlights without quality loss.

Our universal RAW converter supports 20+ camera RAW formats from all major manufacturers: Canon (CR2, CR3, CRW), Nikon (NEF, NRW), Sony (ARW, SR2, SRF), Fujifilm (RAF), Adobe DNG, Panasonic (RW2, RAW), Olympus/OM System (ORF), Pentax (PEF), Hasselblad (3FR, FFF), Phase One (IIQ), Samsung (SRW), Sigma (X3F), GoPro (GPR), Minolta (MRW), Kodak (DCR, KDC), Epson (ERF), Mamiya (MEF), and Leaf (MOS).
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.
Authoritative reference: AVIF Specification (AOMedia)
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.

Why choose AVIF?
What settings are used for the conversion?
Conversion settings:
- White balance: Preserved from your camera's as-shot settings
- Exposure: Auto-brightness applied (matches typical RAW processors)
- Color space: sRGB with standard gamma curve for accurate display
- AVIF quality: 50 — excellent visual quality with efficient compression (AVIF quality 50 ≈ JPEG quality 85)
- Metadata: Stripped for privacy (no GPS, camera info, or shooting settings)
How much smaller will AVIF files be?
Is AVIF supported everywhere?
Why is AVIF encoding slower than other formats?
AVIF uses the AV1 codec, which prioritizes compression efficiency over encoding speed. This is an intentional tradeoff:
- Encoding time: AVIF takes 2-3× longer than WebP or JPEG encoding
- File size: AVIF is 50% smaller than JPEG and 20% smaller than WebP
For photographers publishing to the web, the extra encoding time is usually acceptable since you convert once and serve the image to many viewers. The bandwidth savings compound with every page view.
What are the limits for this converter?
| Tier | Max File Size | Max Files/Batch | Parallel Processing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guest/Free | 100 MB | 50 files | 3 at once |
| Pro | 1024 MB | 1000 files | 6 at once |
Note: File size limits are specific to this converter. Batch and parallel processing limits apply to all images converters site-wide. See all converter limits →
How are credits calculated for this conversion?
Cost: 1 credit per 5 MB
How it works:
- Files up to 5 MB: 1 credit
- 6-10 MB: 2 credits
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Guest | 100 credits/day | — |
| Free | 100 credits/day | — |
| Pro | — | 12,000 credits/month |
Daily credits (Guest & Free tiers) reset every day at midnight UTC. Monthly credits (Pro) reset on your billing cycle date.
Note: With 1 credit per 5 MB, RAW files under 5 MB cost 1 credit each. Pro users can convert 12,000 RAW files per month.
