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, batch-oriented ARW to PGX conversion for photographers and archives with clear technical guidance.

Optimized for Bulk ARW

Engine tuned to queue and process large Sony ARW raws efficiently in browser memory.

High-Fidelity Output

PGX target delivers a lossless raster container ideal for archival or high-end postproduction.

Batch Productivity

Process hundreds of ARW files in grouped batches to reduce manual steps and speed up workflows.

Editing-Friendly Results

PGX outputs open in color-managed editors that read bit-depth and embedded raw conversion results.

Client-Side Processing

All decoding and PGX packing run in-browser memory; files aren’t uploaded to external servers.

Clear Conversion Controls

Select output bit depth and basic demosaic presets before packing into PGX for predictable output.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

ARW Preflight

Group ARW files by Sony model and sensor size to keep consistent demosaic parameters
Export XMP sidecars for ARW if you need to retain lens corrections or edit history
Normalize exposure and white balance in your raw editor before batch export to PGX
Remove corrupted ARW frames or incomplete captures to avoid conversion failures
Check embedded ISO and timestamp EXIF fields to maintain sequence sorting after conversion

PGX Encoding Choices

Select 16-bit PGX output when you require maximum tonal headroom for retouching
Use PGX lossless packing for archival copies rather than lossy reducers that sacrifice detail
Choose a linear or named color space tag on export to match your downstream editor
Expect PGX files to be larger than ARW; plan storage and archive strategies accordingly
If target tools lack PGX, export a secondary TIFF copy for compatibility while keeping PGX as master

Workflow Integration

Ingest PGX into DAM systems that index EXIF; verify which EXIF tags migrated from ARW
Automate batch conversions with consistent presets to avoid manual parameter drift
Use file naming conventions that link PGX outputs back to original ARW filenames
Test opening PGX in primary editing software to confirm color interpretation before mass export
Retain original ARW files when clients require raw recoverability or alternate demosaicing

Memory & Privacy

Process batches of 20–50 ARW files to minimize browser memory pressure and GC pauses
Keep original ARW files locally; conversion runs in memory so no server transfer occurs
Close heavy GPU-accelerated tabs when converting high-resolution ARW stacks
If converting on laptop, plug into power to avoid CPU throttling during long batches
Download and verify PGX archives promptly and clear temporary browser caches after use

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.
