How to Convert Files

Follow these simple steps to convert your files

01

Upload Source File

Select or drag and drop your CRW raw files from camera or archive.

02

Adjust Settings

Pick target bit depth, page resolution, and PWP compression level to match delivery needs.

03

Convert

Start conversion; CRW raw will be demosaiced and rasterized per chosen color/profile settings.

04

Download Result

Save the PWP package or export individual raster images if required by your editor.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare CRW Source

  • Verify white balance embedded in CRW and lock it before batch conversion to maintain tonal consistency
  • Apply camera-specific lens corrections in RAW editor before export because PWP stores flattened rasters
  • Convert CRW to a linear or camera-rendered RGB depending on downstream PWP viewer expectations
  • Normalize exposure variants across CRW files to avoid visible jumps between PWP pages
  • Export masked regions from your raw editor if you need alpha masks; CRW itself does not include alpha

Configure PWP Encoding

  • Choose 16-bit PWP pages when preserving highlights from 14-bit CRW captures to reduce banding
  • Select lossless raster compression inside PWP for archival masters and lossy for web previews
  • Tile large rasters into smaller PWP pages to improve streaming and viewer memory usage
  • Embed a standard ICC profile in the PWP when color-managed delivery is required by CMS
  • Limit target resolution to required display size to control PWP package size for web deployment

Verify Workflow Compatibility

  • Test PWP output in your target viewer to confirm ICC rendering matches your proofing software
  • Export a sample CRW→PWP then re-import raster images into editors to confirm expected editability
  • Check that metadata fields critical to your CMS (title, capture date) are preserved in PWP metadata blocks
  • Validate that 16-bit exports open in downstream tools; some browsers and viewers may downsample to 8-bit
  • For photogrammetry or printing pipelines, ensure PWP raster dimensions and DPI match processing tools

Performance & Privacy

  • Process CRW batches of 20–50 files to balance memory use and conversion throughput in browser
  • Close memory-intensive applications to allocate maximum RAM for demosaicing and tiling operations
  • Keep originals on local storage until you verify PWP outputs and metadata fidelity
  • Use smaller preview compression for quick checks, then re-export full-quality PWP for final delivery
  • Download and archive PWP results promptly; browser caches are not a long-term storage solution

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.
