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.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare ARW for Decode

Check ARW compression variant; lossy-packed ARW can affect noise distribution after demosaic
If the ARW contains camera-supplied linear previews, use full RAW decode for best tonal detail
Export from tethering or studio rigs with consistent exposure to avoid per-image demosaic variability
Use the camera model metadata to select matching color matrix before RLE export
Keep originals; the ARW retains sensor-level data needed for future reprocesses

Select RLE Encoding Targets

Choose 16-bit RLE when target archive requires high dynamic range retention
For editorial use prefer 8-bit RLE only after explicit tone-mapping and soft-proofing
Decide channel ordering (RGB vs BGR) to match downstream renderer expectations
If alpha is required, export alpha as a separate RLE channel file and document channel mapping
Use ZIP packaging to preserve sidecar EXIF/XMP if your RLE writer lacks metadata slots

Verify Post-Conversion

Open converted RLE in target software to confirm bit-depth and channel order immediately
Compare histogram shapes between ARW-derived decode and RLE to spot quantization steps
Inspect skin tones and highlights at 100% to confirm acceptable demosaic results
Check that any intended ICC profile was applied or preserved in a sidecar
Run a sample batch from each camera model to validate processing parameters

Pipeline & Privacy Considerations

Process sensitive ARW files client-side to avoid external server exposure
When using batch jobs, break large sets into 20–50 file groups to avoid memory pressure
Lock target archive locations and verify checksum after RLE export for archival integrity
Document conversion parameters (bit-depth, tone curve) alongside RLE outputs
Download and store converted archives promptly; avoid leaving temp caches on shared machines

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.
