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

Verify ARW white balance metadata so demosaicing applies correct camera WB
Convert proprietary Sony gain tables to linear space before exporting to XV
Strip noisy high-ISO frames or apply controlled denoise to ARW prior to conversion
Ensure ARW sequence naming keeps bracket and exposure order for downstream review
Confirm ARW shot tags (lens, focal) are intact to map EXIF into XV where possible

Target XV Encoding Choices

Select XV bit-depth matching your editor to avoid automatic downscaling
Choose lossless XV variant for archival to prevent recompression artifacts
Embed an sRGB or chosen ICC profile into XV when color-managed viewers are required
If storage is constrained, enable XV compression but verify visual difference against ARW
When exporting large batches, pack XV files into ZIP to reduce filesystem overhead

Workflow Integration

Test XV imports in your DAM or CMS to confirm metadata mapping from ARW
Use sidecar XMP for complex edits; XV may not carry all ARW edit recipes
Automate ARW to XV naming conventions so editors can match originals quickly
For print pipelines, verify XV color profile gamma matches RIP requirements
Keep original ARW files available for reprocessing rather than destructive XV edits

Verification & Performance

Spot-check converted XV pixels at 100% to compare demosaic interpolation artifacts
Validate embedded EXIF fields like exposure and focal length in XV outputs
Process batches in groups of 20-50 ARW files to avoid browser memory spikes
Close background GPU-intensive apps to improve decode throughput during conversion
Immediately archive and checksum critical XV outputs to prevent accidental loss

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.
