What is a NEF file?

NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) is a RAW image format used by Nikon digital cameras. It stores data directly from the camera’s sensor, providing maximum flexibility for editing exposure, color, and detail.

NEF files are large and designed for professional post-processing, similar to CR2 (Canon) or ARW (Sony).

How to open NEF files

NEF files can be opened with Nikon's ViewNX or Capture NX-D, as well as Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and other advanced photo editors. Some free RAW processors like darktable also support NEF.

If you want to convert NEF to JPG or PNG for sharing or archiving, AnyConv is an excellent tool that works online without extra software.
