What is a ARW file?
ARW stands for Sony Alpha Raw and is a raw image format used by Sony digital cameras. It contains unprocessed data straight from the camera's sensor, allowing for greater flexibility during editing compared to compressed formats like JPG.
Photographers prefer ARW for professional editing, as it retains more detail, color data, and dynamic range. However, ARW files are much larger and not universally supported by all image software.
How to open ARW files
To open ARW files, you can use Sony’s own software like Imaging Edge, or professional tools such as Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Free alternatives include RawTherapee and darktable.
For quick viewing or converting to a more accessible format, online services like AnyConv are convenient and efficient.
