RAF converter
Convert your RAF files to any format.
What is a RAF file?
RAF is Fujifilm's RAW format — every photographic detail the sensor captured, including the unique color data from X-Trans and Bayer sensors, before any in-camera processing.
First released in 2003 by Fujifilm, it uses lossless compression and no transparency, which makes it best suited to unprocessed camera sensor data from Fujifilm X-series and GFX cameras.
Drop a RAF file below and we'll show you every conversion available, each one processed locally on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server, so converting is instant and completely private.
Advantages of the RAF format
Maximum editing latitude
RAF stores the sensor's raw measurements rather than a baked-in interpretation, so exposure, white balance and Fujifilm's signature film simulations can be re-applied after the fact with far less quality loss than editing a JPG.
Higher bit depth
Typically 14 bits per channel versus JPG's 8, capturing far smoother gradients and more recoverable detail in shadows and highlights.
Unique X-Trans color data
Fujifilm's X-Trans sensor uses an irregular color filter array that reduces moiré without an optical low-pass filter — RAF preserves this raw data for dedicated RAW processors to handle.

RAF: frequently asked questions
Why can't I just open my RAF file like a normal photo?
RAF stores raw, undebayered sensor data — it needs a RAW processing pipeline (demosaicing, color matrix, white balance) to become a viewable image, which most everyday apps and browsers don't include.
Will I lose quality converting RAF to JPG?
Some — JPG is lossy and limited to 8 bits per channel, while RAF typically holds 14 bits of latitude. For sharing and viewing the difference is invisible; for serious editing, keep the original RAF.
Is the conversion private?
Yes — your RAF is decoded and converted entirely inside your browser via a WebAssembly build of LibRaw; nothing is uploaded to a server.
Will Fujifilm film simulations be applied?
No — our converter runs the standard LibRaw RAW pipeline without applying any manufacturer film simulation curves. For Fujifilm's signature looks, use Lightroom, Capture One or Darktable with the original RAF.
