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, accurate CRW to PAM conversion tailored for photographers and batch workflows.

Fast Batch Processing

Convert CRW RAW files in bulk with multi-file queuing to speed up studio and on-location workflows.

High-Fidelity Raster Output

Produce PAM raster images that retain pixel-level detail from demosaiced CRW data for editing and archival use.

Optimized Batch Controls

Queue and process hundreds of CRW inputs with consistent settings and predictable PAM outputs.

Editor-Friendly Format

PAM is a straightforward portable-anymap that integrates cleanly with image tools expecting raw pixel maps.

Adjustable Output Parameters

Select bit depth and color space conversion options to match target editing pipelines when exporting to PAM.

Local, Memory-Only Processing

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

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare CRW for Batch Decode

Normalize white balance across CRW files to avoid per-image color shifts after demosaic
Convert any proprietary camera-side edits to a baseline TIFF before large PAM conversion when edits must be preserved
Group CRW by sensor model to apply consistent demosaic and gamma settings during batch processing
Strip or export XMP sidecars for consistent metadata handling before converting to PAM comment fields
Verify CRW file integrity and correct read offsets to prevent decode errors in bulk operations

Configure PAM Bit Depth and Storage

Choose 16-bit PAM for images requiring high dynamic range retention from CRW sensors
Use 8-bit PAM only for preview pipelines to reduce storage when full tonal fidelity isn't needed
Compress PAM archives into ZIP when storing large batches to save disk space
Plan disk headroom: a 24 MP CRW can expand to several hundred megabytes as a 16-bit PAM
Maintain original CRW archives separately to allow reprocessing with different decode parameters

Validate Color and Metadata After Convert

Inspect embedded ICC or assigned profiles in PAM using a color-aware viewer immediately after export
Compare histogram shapes between CRW demosaic output and PAM to detect clipping or gamma shifts
Confirm important EXIF fields copied into PAM comments if downstream tools rely on timestamps or focal length
Spot-check samples in your editing app to verify no channel swapping occurred during conversion
Run automated checks on a subset of batch outputs to catch model-specific decode anomalies early

Batch Performance and Privacy

Process CRW batches in groups of 20-50 to balance memory usage and throughput in browser environments
Keep conversion local to avoid transmitting raw CRW images over networks when privacy matters
Close heavy background apps to free CPU cores and reduce throttling during large PAM exports
Use incremental downloads for large batches to avoid browser memory spikes when zipping PAM outputs
Schedule overnight batches for very large runs to leverage quieter system resources and uninterrupted processing

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.
