ARW format: this is what it is all about
An ARW file refers to an image file that was captured digitally with a Sony camera.
- This is an uncompressed, raw file that contains all the data captured by the camera.
- If you use special editing software, you can convert files with an ARW extension into a JPG, GIF or PNG file.
- Depending on the camera settings, ARW files are very detailed and therefore very large. To view these images, you therefore need a special viewer that can display these files.
- In the operating instructions for your Sony camera you will find information on which software is suitable for viewing and converting your images.
- As a rule, you can open files in ARW format with the ARW Viewer, Adobe Suite, Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery and Microsoft Windows Photos.
