Source vs Target Format
Key technical differences between formats
| Feature | Source Format | Target Format |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy sensor-specific packing | Uncompressed or lossless (LZW/ZIP) |
| File Size | Moderate (compressed RAW) | Large (raster TIFF) |
| Quality | Highest post-demosaic potential | Lossless pixel storage |
| Transparency | Not applicable | Supported if created |
| Metadata | Proprietary RW2 tags + EXIF | EXIF, IPTC, ICC possible |
| Primary Use | Capture & raw editing | Archival editing intermediate |

Start Converting NowTips and Best Practices
Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.
Prepare RW2 for Export
- Embed or apply XMP sidecar adjustments so white balance and exposure are rendered into the exported TIFF pixels
- Convert camera-specific color modes (e.g., Panasonic Vivid) to a standard profile before export to avoid color shifts
- Demosaic at 16-bit output when possible to retain sensor highlight recovery for TIFF archival
- Remove or consolidate burst metadata in RW2 batches to prevent inconsistent timestamps in exported TIFFs
- Verify lens corrections applied in sidecar are baked into pixels if you require corrected TIFFs for publishing
TIFF Export & Storage
- Choose LZW or ZIP compression to reduce TIFF size without losing pixel data important for print workflows
- Store original RW2 files alongside TIFF archives to retain lossless raw source for future reprocessing
- When disk space is constrained, export 8-bit baseline TIFFs for downstream publishing while keeping 16-bit masters
- Tag TIFF files with IPTC or XMP after conversion to maintain editorial metadata for CMS ingestion
- Use consistent naming conventions linking RW2 originals to TIFF outputs to simplify asset management
Verify Post-Conversion
- Open resulting TIFF in Photoshop to confirm bit depth and check for clipped highlights relative to RW2 raw histogram
- Inspect exported EXIF and GPS tags because some RW2 proprietary fields may be stripped or normalized
- Compare color rendering by viewing TIFF with intended ICC profile applied to ensure visual parity
- Zoom to 100% to verify sharpening and demosaic artifacts have not introduced moiré in fine patterns
- Test TIFF import into your CMS or DAM to confirm file size and metadata compatibility before bulk publishing
Workflow Performance & Privacy
- Process RW2 batches in groups of 20–50 to balance memory use and throughput during browser-based conversion
- Keep originals local; the converter processes files in memory to minimize external uploads for privacy
- Free system RAM by closing other image-editing applications to speed demosaic and TIFF encoding
- If you need server-side ingestion, pre-convert RW2 to TIFF locally to reduce server CPU load and incompatibility
- Download converted TIFFs immediately and archive RW2 originals in a secure backup for auditability
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.
