What is a RAF file?
RAF is a RAW image format used by Fujifilm digital cameras. It stores unprocessed sensor data and metadata, allowing full control over exposure, white balance, and color correction during post-processing.
Like other RAW formats, RAF files provide higher image quality and editing flexibility.
How to open RAF files
RAF files can be opened with Fujifilm software like RAW File Converter EX, or professional tools like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. RawTherapee and darktable also support RAF.
To convert RAF to JPG or PNG, AnyConv is a fast and user-friendly solution.

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 RAF file and why convert it to JPG?RAF is Fujifilm’s RAW image format. It contains unprocessed sensor data with all the detail your camera captured. But most devices and apps can’t open RAF files - so converting them to JPG makes them much easier to view, share, or print.
- Why does my JPG look duller than the image on my Fujifilm camera?Because your camera shows a preview with film simulation - Fujifilm adds color, contrast, and style in-camera. But the RAF file itself is raw and flat. So when you convert it, the JPG may look less vibrant. That’s expected - it’s just the difference between processed preview and real sensor data.
- Will I lose quality when converting RAF to JPG?Yes, a bit. JPG uses lossy compression, which reduces file size by discarding some image data. But for everyday use or quick sharing, the visual difference is minimal - especially if the photo was well-lit and focused.
- Can I convert multiple RAF files at once?Yes! Just upload several RAF files - our converter will process them all and give you individual JPGs for each one. It’s perfect for converting entire photo shoots in one go.
- Is it better to edit RAF files before converting?If you're aiming for the best image quality, yes. Editing RAF files in photo software like Capture One or Lightroom lets you fine-tune colors, contrast, and sharpness before converting. If you skip that step, the converted JPG will reflect the raw data as-is - which may look flat or soft.
- My JPG looks softer than expected - is that normal?Yes. RAF files are often less sharpened than in-camera previews. Fujifilm applies sharpening to the preview, but the raw file stays untouched. You can sharpen the JPG afterward using any basic photo editor if needed.
