How to convert RAW to TIFF

  1. Add your .RAW file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
  2. Convert it to .TIFF in a few seconds.
  3. Download your new .TIFF file.

What to expect

  • Export at 16-bit for maximum color depth; 8-bit TIFF is smaller but discards half the tonal range the sensor captured.
  • A 24-megapixel RAW produces roughly 140 MB as uncompressed 16-bit TIFF; enabling LZW compression (lossless) typically cuts this to 60-90 MB.
  • The .raw extension is shared by multiple camera brands with different internal formats - if one tool fails to open your file, try RawTherapee, which uses LibRaw and supports a wide range of vendor variants.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting RAW to TIFF lose quality?
No - TIFF is lossless. Converting raw sensor data to a rendered image is the normal development step; no additional compression is applied when saving as TIFF.
Should I export 16-bit or 8-bit TIFF?
Choose 16-bit if you plan further editing in Photoshop or GIMP; 8-bit is fine for direct print output where no more adjustments are needed.
Can I batch-convert RAW files to TIFF?
Yes - both darktable and RawTherapee have batch export queues that let you process a whole folder at once.
Will my TIFF look different from the RAW preview?
The TIFF holds the processed result with white balance and tone curve applied; exporting with a neutral or linear profile keeps it close to the flat raw preview.
