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 JPG file?
JPG (or JPEG) stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the team that created the standard back in the early 1990s. It’s one of the most common image formats in the world, known for compressing digital photos while retaining acceptable quality.
JPG uses lossy compression, which means some image data is discarded during saving. This makes JPG files smaller, ideal for web use, email, and social sharing — but less ideal for images that require fine detail or multiple edits.
How to open JPG files
JPG files can be opened on virtually any device — Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux — using default apps like Photos, Preview, or third-party software such as Photoshop and GIMP. Even web browsers can display JPGs natively.
This universal support makes JPG the go-to format for photography, online graphics, and digital documents.
