What is a PEF file?
PEF stands for Pentax Electronic File and is the RAW image format used by Pentax digital cameras. It stores unprocessed sensor data and preserves maximum detail, allowing for advanced editing without quality loss.
Like other RAW formats, PEF is intended for photographers who prefer full control over image processing.
How to open PEF files
You can open PEF files using Pentax Digital Camera Utility, Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and other RAW-capable photo editors. Free tools like RawTherapee also support it.

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.
