What is a RAW file?
RAW is a general term for a family of image file formats that store minimally processed data directly from a digital camera’s sensor. Each camera manufacturer typically has its own RAW format - such as CR2/CR3 (Canon), NEF (Nikon), ARW (Sony), and DNG (Adobe) - with different structures and metadata.
Unlike JPEG or PNG, RAW files retain all the original image information, including greater color depth and dynamic range. This makes them ideal for professional photographers who want full control over exposure, white balance, sharpness, and other post-processing adjustments.
How to open RAW files
Most RAW files require specialized software for viewing and editing, such as Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Capture One, or open-source tools like RawTherapee and Darktable. Camera manufacturers also provide their own RAW converters tailored to their file formats.
You can convert many RAW files (including CR2, NEF, ARW, and others) to more accessible formats like JPG or PNG using AnyConv, enabling quick previews and easier sharing across platforms.

What is a JPEG file?
JPEG is one of the most widely used image formats in the world. The name comes from the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which developed the standard in the early 1990s. JPEG files use lossy compression to reduce file size while maintaining acceptable image quality.
They are ideal for photos and web use but not for images that need frequent editing or high precision, as repeated saves degrade quality.
How to open JPEG files
JPEG files are universally supported. You can open them on any device - computer, tablet, or phone - with built-in apps or web browsers. Most photo editors also support JPEG natively.
If you want to convert JPEG to another format, AnyConv offers a fast and easy solution directly online.
