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, device-friendly conversion from Sony ARW raw images to MAP for accessible map-style delivery and archival workflows.

Fast Raw Decoding

Efficient demosaic and raw decode of ARW sensor data into MAP-ready raster assets quickly.

Pixel-Accurate Rasterizing

High-fidelity rasterization preserves visible detail from ARW Bayer mosaics into MAP tiles.

Robust Batch Processing

Convert large ARW batches with predictable throughput and grouped MAP package output.

Cross-Device Delivery

MAP outputs optimized for web maps, GIS viewers, and mobile sharing workflows.

Client-Side Processing

Conversions occur in browser memory to limit external file transfer and improve privacy.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare ARW Source

Inspect ARW histogram and adjust exposure in RAW editor before rasterizing to MAP
Apply lens corrections to ARW to avoid tiled map seams after conversion
Export a demosaiced preview when ARW uses nonstandard CFA patterns for older Sony models
Keep original ARW sidecar XMP paired with MAP output to preserve edit provenance
Convert at native ARW resolution when final MAP viewers require high zoom fidelity

Configure MAP Encoding

Select 16-bit MAP output to retain more ARW tonal gradation where viewer supports it
Choose MAP tile size based on target map grid to avoid retiling after upload
Pick lossless MAP compression for archival ARW conversions to maintain pixel detail
Embed a standard ICC profile during MAP export when consistent color across devices is needed
Disable aggressive MAP downscaling when final use requires high-resolution inspection

Integration & Workflow

Export georeference from your photogrammetry tool and apply before converting ARW to MAP
Use MAP outputs with web map SDKs that support your chosen tile and color profile
Automate ARW to MAP conversion in desktop batches to produce consistent tile pyramids
Verify MAP ingestion in your CMS or GIS to confirm metadata mapping from ARW is recognized
Keep a copy of original ARW files linked to MAP bundles for editorial rollback

Verify Output Integrity

Compare ARW and MAP at 100% to confirm demosaic artifacts or aliasing were not introduced
Check embedded EXIF and GPS fields in MAP if location-based delivery is required
Validate color in target browsers and mobile devices to catch profile mismatches early
Test alpha transparency in MAP viewers if ARW-derived masks were applied during export
Monitor memory use when converting large ARW batches to avoid incomplete MAP tiles

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.
