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 captures to RGBO for wide compatibility and precise color access.

RAW to RGBO Speed

Decode ARW sensor data and encode RGBO quickly using optimized browser routines for near-instant previews.

Preserve Sensor Detail

Maintain the ARW camera's tonal range by exporting uncompressed per-channel RGBO to retain highlight and shadow detail.

Accessible Across Devices

RGBO output is device-friendly for web viewers and basic editors on desktop, mobile, and tablets without proprietary RAW decoders.

Adjustable Rendering

Choose simple rendering options—exposure, white balance, and output dimensions—before encoding to RGBO.

Local Client Processing

All decoding and RGBO encoding occur in the browser memory, minimizing upload risk and preserving local privacy.

Pixel-Accurate Export

Convert ARW Bayer mosaics into four-channel RGBO with channel mapping that maps raw sensor data into RGBO planes.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare ARW Source

Evaluate ARW exposure and apply a nominal exposure offset before demosaic to avoid clipped highlights
Check Sony-specific tags like SNR or camera curve; note that proprietary tags may not survive conversion
If ARW contains multiple subfiles, select the primary RAW image to ensure correct pixel dimensions
Convert in the camera's native resolution to preserve sensor detail unless you explicitly downscale
Inspect embedded white balance and set explicit WB in the conversion settings rather than relying on assumed defaults

Target RGBO Encoding

Select 16-bit RGBO when preserving gradient fidelity is essential for post-processing
Use 8-bit RGBO for mobile sharing to reduce file size but accept potential banding in smooth gradients
Decide whether to write an O plane (opacity) if downstream apps expect an alpha channel for overlays
Apply a color-space target (sRGB or linear) during conversion because RGBO lacks a standard embedded ICC wrapper
Compress exported RGBO containers only if downstream viewers support the chosen compression schema

Workflow Integration

Produce a 16-bit RGBO master for editors like Affinity or Photoshop plugins that accept per-channel rasters
When delivering to web teams, render an sRGB 8-bit RGBO derivative for predictable browser display
Provide a sidecar with critical EXIF or XMP since some pipelines expect separate metadata for ARW-origin files
Test RGBO imports in the target CMS or mobile app to confirm correct channel ordering and opacity interpretation
If color-critical, perform a proof render to the final delivery profile used by printers or web hosts

Verification & Safety

Open a sample RGBO in multiple viewers to verify channel mapping and confirm no channel swap occurred
Check histogram and 100% pixel crops to ensure demosaic did not introduce artifacts at edges
Validate that exported metadata contains focal length and capture time if that information is required downstream
Keep originals: archive ARW files separately so you can re-render RGBO with different settings if needed
Use batch-test runs on a small set of ARW files to tune settings before processing large shoots

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.
