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, predictable ARW to RAS conversions tuned for web publishing and archival previews.

Optimized for Speed

Quickly decode Sony ARW raw frames and render raster RAS files for fast web previews.

Accurate Tonal Mapping

Preserves camera exposure interpretation and maps RAW linear data to display-referred RAS output.

Broad Viewer Support

Produce RAS outputs that work with common image servers and legacy viewers used in web pipelines.

Client-side Processing

Files are processed in-browser memory buffers so originals need not be uploaded to external servers.

Efficient Batch Workflows

Process dozens of ARW files in groups; memory-aware batching reduces browser stalls.

Practical Controls

Adjust basic exposure, white balance, and output resolution to match web delivery needs.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare ARW for Conversion

Inspect ARW EXIF and Sony MakerNotes for required camera settings before batch export
Apply lens correction in a raw editor if you need vendor-specific profiles preserved
Crop ARW to final aspect ratio to reduce RAS output dimensions and file size
Convert ARW white balance to a fixed value to avoid inconsistent tone mapping across images
Export only canonical ARW frames; discard camera-generated JPEG previews to avoid confusion

Optimize RAS Output for Servers

Select 8-bit RAS for web previews to reduce bandwidth while retaining acceptable tonality
When archiving, use 16-bit RAS to keep extra headroom for later color grading
Downscale ARW originals to target delivery resolution to prevent oversized RAS files
Embed sRGB ICC in RAS for predictable browser-side conversion when downstream tools expect sRGB
Package RAS archives into ZIP for CDN upload to simplify deployment

Verify Visual and Metadata Results

Open converted RAS in a trusted viewer and compare histograms against the ARW source
Check EXIF fields like capture time and focal length to ensure critical metadata transferred
Zoom to 100% in RAS to inspect demosaic artifacts or moiré from ARW sensor patterns
Compare color patches between ARW raw render and RAS to confirm ICC application
Spot-check a few files after batch runs to catch format-specific processing differences

Memory, Privacy and Throughput

Process ARW batches of 20–50 to balance memory use and throughput in-browser
Perform conversions locally to keep RAW images off external servers for privacy
Close other memory-heavy tabs to reduce browser GC pauses during large ARW decodes
If uploading to a server later, convert to RAS first to standardize downstream processing
Download completed RAS packages immediately to avoid temporary local storage accumulation

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.
