Frequent Questions
Why choose PNG over JPG for RAW conversion?
PNG uses lossless compression, so there are no compression artifacts. This matters when you plan to edit the image further, as JPG artifacts can accumulate with each save.
Will the PNG file be larger than JPG?
Yes, significantly. PNG files can be 3-5 times larger than equivalent JPG files. Use PNG when quality is priority, JPG when file size matters.
Does PNG preserve the full color depth of NEF?
Our converter outputs 8-bit PNG which covers the visible color range. For professional editing requiring higher bit depth, dedicated RAW software is recommended.
Can I still edit the PNG like a RAW file?
PNG is a processed image, not RAW data. You cannot recover highlights or adjust exposure as extensively as with the original NEF. Keep your NEF files for major edits.
