How to convert RAW to JPG in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Select one or more RAW files from your camera or memory card: CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, ORF, RW2, PEF and other common types.

  2. 2

    Keep JPG as the output and adjust the quality if you want a lighter or a sharper file.

  3. 3

    Press “Process” and download your JPG images, one by one or together in a ZIP.

Your files never leave your device

This tool runs entirely inside your browser. The file is never uploaded to any server: it is read, processed and downloaded on your own device. When you close or reload the page, it is gone from memory.

Why RAW files are hard to share

Cameras that shoot RAW save the data straight from the sensor, which gives photographers a lot of room to adjust exposure and color later. The catch is that RAW files are not meant to be viewed as they are. Many phones, web browsers, email services, printing kiosks and upload forms can't open them at all, and every brand uses its own format: Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic and Pentax each have their own extension.

So when you come back from a trip, a family event or a shoot with a folder full of RAW files and someone asks “can you send me the photos?”, you need JPG. That's the format everyone can open on any device.

How this converter works, honestly

Almost every camera stores a ready-made JPEG preview inside each RAW file. It's the image you see on the camera screen when you review your shots, already processed with the camera's own color settings. ConvertirDocs extracts that preview and gives it to you as a JPG.

This means the RAW itself is not developed. You don't get the extra highlight and shadow recovery, white balance changes or noise reduction that a RAW editor like Lightroom, Capture One or darktable offers. What you get is the look the camera produced, quickly and without installing anything.

The size of the result depends on your camera. Many cameras store a full-size preview, so the JPG has the same resolution as the photo. Others keep a smaller preview, which is fine for sharing on screen but less suited to large prints.

Good uses for a quick RAW to JPG

It's ideal when you need to share or check photos fast: sending a selection to a client for approval, posting a few shots to social media, giving family the pictures from a party, or uploading an image to a form that only accepts JPG. It's also handy for culling, when you want to look through a card on a computer that has no RAW software.

For a final edit or a big print, keep working from the original RAW in a dedicated editor. Your RAW files are not changed or replaced; you only download new JPG copies.

Private and free

RAW files are large, and uploading a whole card to a website takes a long time. Here nothing is uploaded: the files are read in your browser, so the speed depends on your device, not your connection. Personal or client photos never leave your computer or phone.

There's no account, no watermark and no limit on how many files you convert. Select a full folder and download the JPG files together in a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Which RAW formats are supported?

CR2 and CR3 from Canon, NEF from Nikon, ARW from Sony, DNG, RAF from Fujifilm, ORF from Olympus, RW2 from Panasonic, PEF from Pentax and other RAW files that include a JPEG preview.

Is the RAW file developed like in Lightroom?

No. ConvertirDocs uses the JPEG preview the camera saved inside the file. You can't adjust exposure, white balance or other RAW settings here.

Why is my JPG smaller in pixels than the original photo?

Some cameras store a reduced preview instead of a full-size one. The result can only be as big as the preview inside the file.

Will the colors look like on my camera screen?

Yes, usually. The preview is processed by the camera, so it reflects the picture style or film simulation you had set when you took the photo.

Can I convert a whole memory card at once?

Yes. Select all the files and download the results in a ZIP. The only limit is your device's memory.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser and the RAW files stay on your device.

Can I get PNG instead of JPG?

Yes. Use “Convert image” and pick PNG, WEBP or another output. The image still comes from the camera's preview.
