How do I convert ARW to AVIF on LetsConvert?

Upload your Sony ARW file, select AVIF as the target format, choose a quality preset (e.g., 10-bit HDR or 8-bit web), optionally set a resize or compression ratio, then click Convert and wait for the processed AVIF file to download. You can also batch-convert multiple ARW files to AVIF at once.

Why should I convert ARW to AVIF instead of keeping the raw file?

ARW files are huge and not natively supported by web browsers or most editing apps, while AVIF uses the AV1 codec to reduce file size up to 50% and is supported by all modern browsers and apps like Photoshop. Converting preserves the visual quality and makes sharing and storage easier.

What metadata and color information is preserved when converting ARW to AVIF?

The ARW raw file contains sensor data plus EXIF (camera settings) and an embedded ICC color profile. Our converter demosaics the raw sensor data, applies white balance, and encodes the image with 10-bit depth for HDR support. The resulting AVIF retains the ICC profile and EXIF, but not proprietary Sony raw metadata. You can toggle lossless compression if needed, though AVIF is primarily lossy.

Convert Sony ARW raw to AVIF using AV1 compression to retain 10-bit color and HDR while cutting file size by 50%—perfect for web and archiving.
