ARW to JPG
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.

JPG (or JPEG) is one of the most widely used image file formats, favored for its efficient lossy compression algorithm that significantly reduces file size while maintaining a high image quality. It is commonly used for photographs and web graphics; however, the lossy nature of its compression means that some image quality is sacrificed, and this loss can be exacerbated with repeated editing and saving. JPG files support 24-bit color, allowing for a broad spectrum of colors, but they do not support transparent backgrounds.
