What file formats do you support?

We support over 100 file formats including images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), and many more specialized formats.

Yes, absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all file transfers. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after conversion, and we never store or access your personal data.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size for free users is 100MB per file. Premium users can convert files up to 1GB. For larger files, we recommend our batch processing feature.

How long does conversion take?

Most files convert in under 30 seconds. The exact time depends on file size and format complexity. Our advanced algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversion while maintaining quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and convert up to 50 files simultaneously. This is perfect for bulk conversions and saves significant time.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for basic conversions. However, creating a free account gives you access to batch processing, file history, and priority support.

Why Choose Our Converter?

Fast, browser-based ARW to AVIF conversion optimized for web delivery and storage efficiency

Lossless / Fast Conversion

Browser-side processing converts ARW raw frames quickly into AVIF tiles with efficient CPU use.

Photographic Quality

Preserves camera-exposed luminance and chroma as rendered RGB; avoid re-shooting for web assets.

Batch Friendly

Process dozens of ARW files in groups to create small AVIF outputs suited for galleries and CMS uploads.

Web Optimized Output

AVIF targets modern browsers and reduces file size for faster page loads and lower CDN costs.

Client-Side Privacy

All decoding and AVIF encoding occur in the browser; source files do not upload to remote servers.

Adjustable Encoding

Choose quality and chroma subsampling to balance AVIF compression with visible detail for web use.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare ARW Source

Demosaic ARW in a raw editor to apply lens corrections before exporting raster images
Apply white balance and exposure adjustments in raw space to avoid posterization when encoded to AVIF
Flatten any ARW embedded stacks into a single rendered frame prior to AVIF encoding to control final look
Export from raw with the desired color space (sRGB for web) so AVIF embedding matches browser rendering
If ARW contains Sony-specific maker notes, export them to a sidecar before conversion to retain provenance

AVIF Encoding Choices

Select higher quality presets to retain fine RAW-derived texture while balancing file size
Use 4:4:4 chroma when preserving color edges from ARW source to prevent color bleeding in AVIF
Enable 10–12 bit AVIF output if available to reduce banding from ARW tonal gradients
Test different quantization settings on representative ARW images to find the best visual/size trade-off
Prefer near-lossless settings for archival web variants if you need maximum fidelity from ARW originals

Workflow Integration

Automate ARW to AVIF in your CMS pipeline but keep originals as archive for future edits
Validate browser previews after upload because varying AVIF decoders can shift color or contrast
Use server-side CDN auto-conversion only after confirming in-browser AVIF quality from ARW samples
Document export parameters (bit depth, chroma, ICC) so team members reproduce consistent AVIF outputs
Combine AVIF outputs with responsive srcset entries to serve appropriately sized images derived from ARW

Verify Output Integrity

Check AVIF files for embedded ICC profiles if color accuracy is required for web presentation
Inspect EXIF timestamps and focal data post-conversion; some ARW-specific tags may be absent
Compare 100% pixel crops between ARW-rendered TIFF and AVIF to detect compression artifacts
Confirm no unintended flattening of alpha masks if you added layers during raw edits
Retain original ARW files offline until final publishing confirms AVIF meets visual and metadata needs

Fast Processing

Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.

Client-Side Privacy

No media leaves your device.

Broad Compatibility

Output files work across all operating systems.

Pro Tip

For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
