ORF stands for Olympus Raw Image File format. Files with the ORF extension are created by Olympus digital cameras, which store unprocessed image data directly from the camera's sensor. Photographers use ORF files for advanced editing in post-processing software, where they can adjust settings like exposure, contrast, white balance, and more. ORF files are not intended for direct viewing but are meant to be processed into more widely used formats, such as TIFF or JPEG, for sharing or printing.
PNG means Portable Network Graphics. It is used for lossless image compression, which minimizes the loss of image data during compression. The advantages of PNG include its support for a wide range of colors, such as grayscale, indexed color, and true color, which are crucial in high-quality digital image display. Due to its accessibility across all image editing software and web browsers, PNG file type is one of the most popular formats with a wide range of applications.
To convert files from ORF to PNG use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any ORF photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the ORF pics you want to convert.
After uploading the ORF image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select PNG.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted PNG file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the PNG file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a ORF file as a PNG file, you first convert it to PNG and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from ORF to PNG, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the ORF file, Download the PNG file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of PNG is its ability to compress images without losing quality, making it suitable for preserving detail in images with transparency or high contrast. The main disadvantage of ORF is its large file size, as it stores uncompressed raw image data necessary for high-quality editing and post-processing. This makes ORF files challenging to share and store when space is limited. Converting ORF images to PNG can be beneficial for maintaining image quality while reducing file size compared to raw formats.
