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 Decoding

Check Sony ARW variant and camera model to anticipate proprietary tags that may not map
Use original ARW when possible; avoid camera-side in-camera edits that alter raw sensor data
If shooting with high ISO, plan denoise in raw domain before exporting TIFF to avoid amplifying noise
Verify whether ARW stores linear or gamma-corrected sensor data for correct demosaic selection
Keep ARW sidecar XMP if you need to reapply specific develop adjustments after conversion

Configure TIFF Encoding

Choose 16-bit TIFF for maximum tonal gradation when preparing files for retouching
Select lossless LZW/ZIP compression to reduce storage without losing image data
Embed target ICC profile (Adobe RGB/ProPhoto) to match your editing pipeline and RIP
Avoid JPEG-compressed TIFF if final print or heavy edits are planned to prevent recompression artifacts
Balance image dimensions output to match retouching canvas and avoid unnecessary upscaling

Integrate with Editing Software

Open converted TIFFs in Photoshop or Capture One to continue non-destructive edits using layers retained in the editor
Use TIFF with embedded ICC profiles for predictable soft-proofing in Lightroom Classic
When moving TIFFs to DTP or RIPs, confirm CMYK conversion happens in a color-managed app to preserve print intent
For batch retouching, keep consistent convert settings so pixel pipelines align across images
Verify shadow recovery and highlight rolloff in sample TIFFs before bulk converting the entire shoot

Verify Metadata and Workflow

Inspect key EXIF fields post-conversion to ensure capture time and lens data are present for cataloging
Retain raw ARW originals if you rely on proprietary maker notes for camera calibration or forensic uses
Confirm GPS and copyright tags mapped correctly into the TIFF container for DAM systems
When automating ingestion, test a range of ARW variants to ensure consistent metadata mapping
Download and back up converted TIFFs promptly to avoid local browser cache volatility

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.
