ARW to GIF
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.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a widely used image file format that supports both animated and static images. It is particularly noted for its ability to display images with transparent backgrounds and is commonly used for web graphics, memes, and simple animations. However, GIF is limited to a 256-color palette, which makes it less suitable for full-color photographs and detailed artwork.
