Professional cameras shoot in RAW to capture maximum data, but you can't post a .CR2 or .NEF file to Instagram. Our tool 'develops' your RAW files into shareable JPGs accurately using advanced color profiles right in your browser.
RAW vs JPG
| Feature | RAW | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Bit Depth | 12-14 bit | 8 bit |
| Editable | High Dynamic Range | Baked In |
| File Size | Huge (~30MB) | Small (~2MB) |
RAW files are massive (25MB+) and require specialized software to view. JPGs are lightweight and can be opened by any phone or computer instantly.
We utilize WebAssembly (ImageMagick) to parse the proprietary binary data from Canon, Nikon, and Sony cameras. It extracts the embedded preview or renders the raw sensor data into a standard sRGB color space.
