Frequently asked questions
Does converting NEF to JPG lose quality?
JPG is a lossy format, but at quality 80+ the difference is not visible for photos.
Why convert NEF to JPG?
JPG opens everywhere — in every browser, email client, office app and upload form.
Can I convert many NEF files at once?
Yes. Use the bulk image converter to convert whole folders to JPG and download them as a ZIP.
How is the RAW file converted?
Every camera stores a full-size JPEG preview inside the RAW file, developed with your camera settings. The converter extracts that preview in your browser, so the colors look like on the camera display. For manual RAW development use darktable, Lightroom or your camera maker’s software.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device, and nothing is stored.
