What is a ORF file?
ORF stands for Olympus RAW File and is used by Olympus digital cameras to store unprocessed image data. Like other RAW formats, ORF files preserve maximum detail and dynamic range, making them ideal for post-processing.
They’re specific to Olympus and often include metadata like camera settings, white balance, and more.
How to open ORF files
To open ORF files, you can use Olympus Workspace, Adobe Lightroom, or Photoshop. Free editors like RawTherapee also support the format.
If you need to convert ORF to JPG or other common formats, AnyConv provides a fast and simple web-based tool.

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.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an ORF file and why should I convert it?ORF stands for Olympus Raw Format. It’s used by Olympus digital cameras to store raw, unprocessed photo data. These files are great for editing but aren’t supported by most phones or basic apps - that’s why converting them to JPG makes them easier to open, view, or share.
- Which Olympus cameras use ORF?Most Olympus digital cameras that support RAW shooting use the ORF format - including popular models like OM-D E-M10, E-M1, PEN-F, and Tough TG series. If your camera is from Olympus and has a RAW option, it likely produces ORF files.
- Why does my converted JPG look different from the image on my Olympus camera?Your camera applies built-in processing (like color filters, contrast, and sharpness) to the image preview. But the ORF file is raw and untouched, so the converted JPG may look softer or less vibrant than what you saw on-screen. This is normal for all RAW formats.
- Will converting ORF to JPG lower the image quality?Yes - but just a bit. JPG files are compressed, which reduces size by removing some data. For everyday use like online sharing or printing, the quality is still excellent. If you need maximum detail, keep the original ORF for editing.
- How large are ORF files compared to JPGs?ORF files usually range from 10 to 30 MB, depending on your camera and settings. After conversion, JPGs are typically much smaller, making them easier to store and upload.
- Can I convert several ORF files at the same time?Absolutely. You can batch convert multiple ORF files in one go - just upload them all, and our converter will return separate JPGs for each. It’s fast and easy.
- Should I edit ORF files before converting?If you want full control over how the image looks, yes. ORF files are ideal for adjusting exposure, white balance, and color before converting. But if you just need a quick JPG version, direct conversion works fine too.
