What is an NRW file?
NRW is a raw image file format used specifically by high-end Nikon COOLPIX digital cameras (like the P7000 series). It contains the unprocessed data from the image sensor.
Unlike Nikon's more common NEF format, NRW is often supported by Windows Imaging Component (WIC) but may still require specialized software to view properly. Our Online NRW Viewer makes it easy to open these files instantly.
