How to convert RAW to JPF
- Add your .RAW file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .JPF in a few seconds.
- Download your new .JPF file.
What to expect
- The raw is developed, then stored in the extended JPEG 2000 container, losslessly or with lossy wavelet compression.
- JPF support is narrow outside dedicated imaging tools and Safari.
- White balance and exposure decisions are baked in during development.
Frequently asked questions
What quality can RAW to JPF preserve?
JPF is JPEG 2000 Part 2 (JPX), an extended wavelet format supporting lossless or high-quality lossy compression and higher bit depth than JPEG. The raw is demosaiced and developed before being stored.
Why convert RAW to JPF?
JPF is chosen where the extended JPEG 2000 features and strong compression fidelity are wanted for a developed raw, beyond what the basic JP2 profile offers.
Where does a JPF open?
IrfanView (with its JPEG 2000 plugin) and XnView MP open JPF on Windows, and Preview opens it on macOS. Among browsers only Safari displays it, so it is not ideal for wide sharing.
Is anything lost compared with the raw?
The raw's editing latitude is fixed once developed. A lossy JPF setting also discards some detail through wavelet compression, while a lossless setting preserves the developed image at a larger size.
