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 PNG file?
PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. It’s a popular raster image format developed as an open alternative to GIF. Released in 1996, PNG supports lossless compression, which means the image quality is preserved when the file is saved.
PNG is ideal for graphics that need transparency, sharp edges, or repeated editing — such as logos, icons, and screenshots. Unlike JPG, it retains full detail but usually results in larger file sizes.
How to open PNG files
PNG files are supported by nearly all operating systems and applications. You can open them using default image viewers on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Web browsers, design software like Adobe Photoshop, and online tools such as AnyConv also handle PNG files without issues.
