What is a RWL file?
RWL is a RAW image format developed by Leica for its digital cameras, storing unprocessed data directly from the camera sensor. This format offers high image fidelity and is intended for advanced post-processing by professional photographers.
RWL files are based on Adobe's DNG (Digital Negative) specification but include Leica-specific metadata. The format allows for fine-tuned control over exposure, white balance, and detail recovery during editing.
How to open RWL files
RWL files can be opened using Leica’s proprietary software like Leica Image Shuttle or Adobe products such as Lightroom and Photoshop. Other RAW-compatible viewers like Capture One and IrfanView (with plugins) can also display RWL images.
For everyday use or quick previews, you can convert RWL to standard image formats like JPG or PNG with AnyConv.
