What is a RAW file?
RAW files contain minimally processed data from the image sensor of a digital camera. They capture the highest possible image quality and are equivalent to a digital negative.
Unlike JPEGs, RAW files are not compressed and require specialized software to view. Our Online RAW Viewer supports various RAW formats (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, etc.) and lets you preview them instantly.
