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 RAW before Decode

Verify RW2 white balance and set a consistent WB preset to avoid per-file color shifts during decoding
If preserving highlights matters, enable highlight recovery in your RAW preprocessor before exporting to PNG
Apply lens profile corrections in a RAW editor that recognizes Panasonic lens IDs prior to raster export
For bracketed exposures, merge or reduce to a single flattened RAW file before PNG conversion to retain final tonality
Check RW2 ISO and noise characteristics and consider denoising at RAW stage rather than on the exported PNG

Choose PNG Bit Depth Wisely

Select 16-bit PNG output when your workflow requires preserving RW2 high tonal precision
Use 8-bit PNG for web delivery where file size matters but accept reduced gradient fidelity
Prefer PNG over JPEG when compositing or lossless archival of the rendered image is required
Compress batch PNGs into ZIP archives to manage storage without altering image fidelity
Keep original RW2 files archived if future RAW edits or color-reinterpretation are anticipated

Verify Color and Metadata

After conversion, open the PNG in a color-managed editor to confirm intended ICC profile behavior
Compare histogram and highlight clipping between RW2 and PNG to detect unintended tonal shifts
Inspect exported PNG text chunks for essential EXIF fields and export sidecar XMP if needed
Test visual output across target devices to confirm sRGB or embedded profile mapping
If precise colorimetry is required, perform a controlled export using a known reference monitor

Optimize Batch Performance and Privacy

Process RW2 files in groups of 20–50 to limit browser memory usage and improve throughput
Keep conversions client-side to prevent RAW sensor frames and location metadata from leaving your device
Close heavy GPU tabs and suspend background apps to allocate CPU for faster demosaic operations
Download PNG packages immediately and then clear temporary browser caches to protect sensitive images
When automating, include a metadata verification step to ensure essential RW2 fields are retained or exported

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.
