RAF refers to the raw image format used by Fujifilm digital cameras. RAF file type captures unprocessed image data directly from the camera’s sensor, preserving more detail for high-quality editing. These raw files are often used in post-processing with software like Adobe Lightroom to enhance the final image.
JPG is also called JPEG, which stands for Joint Photographic Expert Group. JPG file type is known for its ability to reduce the file size of an image while maintaining a reasonable level of quality, making it easier to share and store digital images. This is achieved through a lossy compression process, which discards some of the data in the original image. JPG file type is famous for photographs and web graphics because it balances file size and image quality.
To convert files from RAF to JPG 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 RAF photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the RAF pics you want to convert.
After uploading the RAF image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select JPG.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted JPG file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the JPG 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 RAF file as a JPG file, you first convert it to JPG and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from RAF to JPG, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the RAF file, Download the JPG file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of JPG is its ability to compress images into much smaller file sizes, making it ideal for sharing, quick access, and web use. The main disadvantage of RAF is its large file size, as it stores uncompressed raw image data, retaining all the details necessary for high-quality editing and post-processing. This makes RAF files more challenging to store and share, especially when space is limited. Therefore, converting RAF images to JPG is beneficial when smaller file sizes are needed for easier sharing and faster access.
