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, precise ARW to JP2 conversions optimized for photographers balancing archival quality and web efficiency.

Lossless / Fast Conversion

Optimized decode path for Sony ARW to fast JPEG 2000 encoding with minimal CPU overhead.

High-Fidelity Output

Preserve native sensor detail and tonal range when encoding to high-quality JP2 profiles.

Reliable Batch Processing

Process dozens of ARW files per session while keeping per-file quality settings consistent.

Broad JP2 Compatibility

Produce standard-conforming JP2 files readable by image servers and professional editors.

Client-Side Processing

Conversions occur in-browser memory buffers; original ARW files stay on your device.

Adjustable Quality Controls

Tweak compression ratio and chroma subsampling to target archival or web delivery use cases.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare ARW for Rendering

Apply desired white balance to ARW before export to lock in colorimetric rendering differences
Flatten virtual copies and disable editor layers in your RAW editor to ensure deterministic raster output
Convert or embed a camera ICC profile from the ARW processing pipeline when available to maintain color fidelity
Remove unnecessary proprietary maker notes to reduce metadata bloat that JP2 may not fully support
Pre-crop ARW images to final aspect ratio to avoid unnecessary pixel resampling during JP2 encoding

Target JP2 Encoding Choices

Choose lossless JP2 when you need pixel-for-pixel fidelity of the decoded RAW rendering
Select lossy wavelet compression level to trade fine texture detail for significant file-size reduction
Enable 16-bit JP2 for printing and high dynamic range workflows when target viewers support it
Set chroma subsampling conservatively to retain color detail for portraits or editorial imagery
Use a predictable compression profile for consistent file sizes across bulk exports

Workflow Integration

Test JP2 output in your DAM or CMS to confirm metadata boxes map correctly from ARW fields
Validate JP2 compatibility with downstream editors like Photoshop or Affinity before bulk conversion
Add a checksum step to compare rendered JP2 files against expected outputs for quality control
Ingest 16-bit JP2 into color-managed pipelines only when the toolchain explicitly supports higher bit depth
Use JP2 for archival masters but generate JPEG or WebP derivatives for public web delivery

Verify Privacy and Performance

Process ARW files locally to avoid transmitting large RAW images over the network
Split very large batches into groups of 20–50 to avoid hitting browser memory limits during demosaicing
Clear temporary caches between sessions if converting mixed-resolution ARW sets to free RAM
Confirm removal or retention of GPS EXIF fields depending on privacy requirements prior to sharing
Download and back up converted JP2 archives promptly to reduce exposure to browser crashes

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.
