Convert RAF to PNG — Lossless Quality
RAF files from Fujifilm bodies carry 14-bit sensor data that most software cannot read. PNG is the lossless target: everything the demosaic produced survives, at the cost of a file several times larger than a JPG.

Modern format with excellent compression. Limited browser support.
Apple's format. Excellent quality at small sizes.
Lossless format. Large files, ideal for print/archival.
256 colors max. Best for simple graphics.
Uncompressed bitmap. Very large files.
Vector trace. Best for logos and simple graphics. Not a pixel-perfect conversion.
Same format? You might want to compress instead.
SSIM-optimized — finds the lowest file size at your chosen visual fidelity.
Need to crop first? Use the Crop tool. Want to adjust or filter? Try the Editor.

Tip: Use PNG or WebP for transparent output. Standalone tool →
Lossless format — files can be large
GIF is limited to 256 colors
Best for logos, icons, and line art. Photos produce stylized results.
BMP files are uncompressed and can be very large. Consider TIFF (LZW) or PNG for lossless with smaller file sizes.
Leave empty for all pages. Multi-page PDFs produce a ZIP.

Why Convert RAF to PNG?
PNG is lossless, so nothing is discarded a second time after the RAW decode. That matters for APS-C X-Trans and medium format files headed into further editing, where a JPG's compression artefacts would compound with every save. Note that most Fujifilm X bodies use an X-Trans colour filter array rather than the Bayer pattern everyone else uses, so RAF files need a different demosaic to resolve correctly.
How to Convert RAF to PNG
Upload your RAF file, or drop a batch of up to 50 at once.
The RAW data is demosaiced and written to PNG without a second lossy step.
Download the PNG. Expect it to be several times the RAF's size — that is lossless compression doing its job.
Quality Note
The PNG is lossless relative to the decoded image, not to the RAF. The 14-bit sensor data is reduced to 8 bits per channel during the demosaic; PNG then preserves that result exactly.
