About RW2
RW2 is Panasonic's proprietary RAW image format used by Lumix cameras since 2008. RW2 files store unprocessed 12-bit or 14-bit sensor data, preserving maximum dynamic range and color information for post-production flexibility. The format includes embedded JPEG previews and comprehensive EXIF metadata including Panasonic's Dual I.S. stabilization data and video-centric features.

RW2 is the standard RAW format for Panasonic's popular Lumix cameras including the GH6, GH7, S5 II, S5 IIX, S1H, and G9 II. Panasonic cameras are particularly popular among video-focused hybrid shooters. For sharing or web publishing, conversion to JPEG is necessary since RAW formats require specialized software like Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, or Panasonic's Silkypix-based LUMIX Tether application.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the universal standard for photographic images, using lossy DCT-based compression to achieve 10:1 or higher compression ratios with minimal visible quality loss. First published in 1992, it supports 24-bit color and works across every device, browser, and application. The lossy nature means repeated editing and saving degrades quality—best used as a final delivery format.

JPEG excels at photographic content and remains the de facto standard for sharing, publishing, and web delivery. With mature encoders like MozJPEG delivering excellent quality-to-size ratios, JPEG continues to dominate despite newer alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RW2 file?
RW2 is Panasonic's proprietary RAW image format used by all Lumix cameras since 2006. RW2 files store 12-14 bit unprocessed sensor data with optional lossy or lossless compression.
RW2 preserves the full dynamic range captured by the sensor, allowing extensive post-processing flexibility for exposure, white balance, and color adjustments that would degrade a JPG.
File sizes typically range from 20-50 MB depending on resolution and compression settings.
Which Lumix cameras are supported?
All Panasonic Lumix cameras producing RW2 files are supported:
- S-Series (Full-Frame): S5 II, S5 IIX, S5, S1R, S1H, S1
- GH-Series (Video-focused MFT): GH7, GH6, GH5 II, GH5S, GH5, GH4
- G-Series (Stills-focused MFT): G9 II, G9, G95, G85, G80, GX9, GX85
- Compacts: LX100 II, LX100, FZ1000 II, FZ2500
- Legacy: GF, GM, and older G-series models
Will I lose quality converting RW2 to JPG?
Some data reduction occurs, but quality remains excellent. RW2 files contain 12-14 bit RAW sensor data with full dynamic range. JPG is an 8-bit lossy format, so highlight/shadow recovery latitude is reduced.
Our converter uses:
- Quality 90 encoding (high quality, minimal artifacts)
- sRGB color space for universal compatibility
- Auto white balance with camera-embedded hints
- LibRaw for accurate Bayer demosaicing
For lossless output with full color depth, use our RW2 to PNG converter.
Can I convert V-Log video footage?
No, RW2 is for still photos only. Panasonic's V-Log and V-Log L video footage uses separate video codecs (H.264/H.265) stored in MOV or MP4 containers.
This converter processes RW2 RAW photo files captured in the camera's photo mode. For video color grading, use video editing software with LUT support.
What software can edit RW2 files?
RW2 files are supported by most professional photo editors:
- Silkypix Developer Studio (bundled with Lumix) — Panasonic's recommended editor
- Adobe Lightroom/Camera Raw — Full support via Adobe Camera Raw
- Capture One — Excellent tethering support for Lumix cameras
- DxO PhotoLab — Advanced noise reduction for high-ISO RW2
- Darktable (free, open-source) — Full RW2 support
Converting to JPG is useful for sharing, web upload, or archiving processed images without requiring RAW-capable software.
What are the limits for this converter?

How are credits calculated for this conversion?
Cost: 1 credit per 50 MB
How it works:
- Files up to 50 RW2 files: 1 credit (minimum)
- 51-100 RW2 files: 2 credits
- 101-150 RW2 files: 3 credits
- 151-200 RW2 files: 4 credits
- Over 1000 RW2 files: 20 credits (maximum cap)
Example: A 5 MB file = 1 credit. A 95 MB file = 2 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 50 credits/day | — |
| Pro | — | 10,000 credits/month |
