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, batch-oriented ARW to YUV conversion focused on camera raw fidelity and production throughput

Raw Camera Throughput

Optimized pipeline decodes Sony ARW sensor data quickly for high-volume pre-processing.

Bit-Depth Fidelity

Preserves decoded linear or gamma-corrected pixel precision when exporting to YUV planes.

Batch-First Workflow

Queue and process hundreds of ARW files to YUV with predictable per-image timing.

Broadcast-Friendly Output

Produce standard YUV formats compatible with video encoders and color-grading tools.

Client-Side Processing

Conversions run in the browser memory; files are not uploaded to external servers by default.

Configurable Decoding

Choose color space conversion, chroma subsampling, and target YUV matrix per batch.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare ARW Inputs

Verify ARW camera model and embed matching color matrix before batch decode
Apply lens corrections or de-noise ARW sources to avoid baked-in artifacts in YUV
Ignore in-camera JPEG previews; decode full RAW pixel arrays for conversion
Normalize exposure via RAW parameters to avoid clipping when mapping to YUV range
Group ARW files by ISO and white balance for consistent batch matrix application

Choose YUV Encoding

Select 4:4:4 YUV when preserving fine chroma detail from ARW is required
Use 10/12-bit YUV outputs to retain extended dynamic range from high-bit ARW sources
Prefer BT.709 matrix for sRGB delivery, BT.2020 for wide-gamut camera transforms
Enable full-range only if downstream tools expect 0-255 luma; otherwise use limited range
Compress YUV into a container when storage or network transfer is constrained

Verify Converted Output

Compare histograms of ARW decoded RGB and exported YUV to detect clipping
Spot-check color patches for accuracy versus camera-profiled references
Inspect edges at 100% for chroma subsampling artifacts after 4:2:0 export
Confirm presence of expected exposure and white balance adjustments post-conversion
Test one YUV file in the target encoder or NLE before running full batches

Batch Reliability Actions

Process large archives in groups of 20-50 ARW files to avoid browser memory spikes
Keep a copy of original ARW files; conversion flattens RAW sensor data irreversibly
Monitor per-image logs for decimation warnings or color matrix fallbacks
Use sidecar metadata export when EXIF or XMP preservation is required downstream
Validate final file compatibility with your playback or encoding pipeline before archiving

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.
