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.

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.

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

1

Upload your RAF file, or drop a batch of up to 50 at once.

2

The RAW data is demosaiced and written to PNG without a second lossy step.

3

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because RAW is compressed sensor data and PNG is a compressed full-colour image. Demosaicing a 26–40 MP Fujifilm frame produces three colour channels where the sensor recorded one, so the PNG routinely exceeds the RAF it came from.

PNG if the image is going back into an editor, JPG if it is going to a person. PNG discards nothing after the RAF decode, while a JPG of the same 26–40 MP Fujifilm frame is a tenth of the size and looks identical on screen.

No. The 14-bit range in the RAF is mapped to 8 bits per channel during the demosaic, and PNG preserves that result exactly. Keep the RAF if you need the highlight and shadow latitude.

Not from the conversion itself — a Fujifilm RAF is a photograph and has no alpha channel. Run the background removal tool on the PNG afterwards if you need transparency.
