RAF to JPG Converter
RAF files are the RAW pictures from Fujifilm cameras, and many standard programs cannot show them. This converter finds the full-size JPEG preview stored in each RAF and saves it as a normal picture on your own device. It is a quick way to view and share shots, and it does not develop the RAW data.

How to convert RAF to JPG
- Add your RAF files by dropping them, clicking the drop zone or pasting.
- The output format is already set to JPG. Adjust quality or size if you need to.
- Press Convert and compare the original and new size for each file.
- Download each file or all of them as a ZIP.
When to convert, and when not to
- You want to look at or send Fujifilm shots without opening RAW software.
- A form, a client or a website needs JPG and you only have the RAF.
- You are reviewing a shoot and want quick copies of the frames before editing the best ones.
- Do not use it when you need to change exposure or white balance from the sensor data, which the tool never reads.
What changes
- The tool locates the preview JPEG that the camera wrote into the RAF and saves it, without processing the sensor data.
- The look is the one the camera rendered, including the film simulation or colour setting chosen at the time.
- The preview can be smaller than the full sensor image, depending on the camera and its settings.
- The preview is decoded and saved again as JPG, so the quality slider applies.
- A rotation tag is applied if present, and a file with no preview produces a clear message.
How the preview is found in a RAF file
A RAF file begins with a header that tells software where the pieces of the file sit, including the embedded JPEG. The converter reads that header to jump straight to the picture, which makes the process quick even for large files. If the header does not point to a usable picture, the tool falls back to searching the file for one.
The JPEG it finds is a complete photograph rendered by the camera, so after saving it opens in any program like an ordinary picture.
Why the colours may differ from your RAW editor
The preview carries the camera's own rendering, including any colour look that was selected when the shot was taken. RAW software starts from the sensor data and applies its own interpretation, so the same frame can look different there. Neither is wrong; they are different starting points.
If matching the in-camera look matters, the preview is often the closest you will get outside the camera. If you want to build your own look, work from the RAF in RAW software and keep this converter for quick copies.
Practical advice for batches
RAF files can be large, so add a few at a time and wait for the rows to finish. Open one result at full size to confirm the preview is what you expected. Use resize when preparing pictures for messages or pages, and download the finished set as a ZIP. Your originals are only read, never changed.
When the preview is all you need
For many everyday purposes, such as sending proofs to a client or choosing favourites, the camera's own preview is perfectly adequate. It loads quickly, looks the way the camera intended and opens anywhere. Reach for RAW software only on the frames where you want to go beyond what the camera rendered.
Privacy: your files stay on your device
- The tool decodes, resizes and encodes your pictures with your browser. The files are never sent to a server.
- To check it yourself: open the browser developer tools (F12), open the Network tab, convert a file, and look for any request that carries your image. You will see none.
Frequently asked questions
Does the tool process the RAF sensor data?
No. It saves the JPEG preview that the camera stored in the file.
Will my film simulation be kept?
The preview is rendered with the camera's look at the time of the shot, so it normally reflects it.
Why does RAW software show different colours?
RAW software interprets the sensor data in its own way, while the preview is the camera's rendering.
Why is the output smaller than my sensor resolution?
The preview in the file can be smaller than the full image.
What if no preview is found?
The tool tells you. The file may be damaged or not a camera RAW picture.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Your pictures stay on your device and are processed in this tab.
