ARW – Sony Alpha RAW
Camera RAW image from Sony cameras. It keeps the unprocessed sensor data for maximum editing latitude, so files are large and need a RAW decoder before they can be viewed or shared.
More ARW conversionsARW to GIF is coming soon
We list every conversion we plan to support so you can find it later, but we only switch one on once it really works. Layered files (PSD, XCF) are flattened. EPS/PS/XPS are rendered with Ghostscript.
GIF – Graphics Interchange Format
GIF dates from 1987 and is best known for short looping animations. Each frame is limited to 256 colours and transparency is on or off only, so photographs often look banded. It is still handy for simple graphics and animations that need to work everywhere.
More GIF conversionsHow this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
