ARW to AVIF
File Converter

ARW is a raw image file format used by Sony digital cameras, capturing unprocessed data from the camera’s sensor. This format provides photographers with extensive flexibility in post-processing, allowing for adjustments to exposure, color balance, and other settings without loss of image quality, but it results in larger file sizes and requires specialized software to view and edit.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a cutting-edge image file format developed by the Alliance for Open Media, utilizing the AV1 video codec for highly efficient image compression. It supports a wide range of features including high dynamic range, wide color gamut, and 8-10 bit color depth, all while achieving significantly smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG, though it may not be as widely supported across all platforms and software yet.
