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.

What is a BMP file?
BMP (Bitmap) is a raster image format developed by Microsoft. It stores image data pixel by pixel, which makes it simple and widely supported but often results in large file sizes due to a lack of compression.
BMP is mostly used in Windows environments and ideal for storing high-quality images where file size is not a concern. It supports various color depths and is easy to process programmatically.
How to open BMP files
BMP files are supported natively on all major operating systems — including Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can open them with default tools like Paint, Preview, or with editing software like GIMP, Photoshop, or IrfanView.
They can also be converted easily using online platforms such as AnyConv.
