How do I convert ARW to BMP using this online tool?

Upload your ARW file by dragging it onto the page. Choose BMP as the output format. You can optionally select a color profile (sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB) and a bit depth of 8 or 16 bits per channel. Click 'Convert' and the tool will demosaic the Sony RAW sensor data, apply white balance, and generate an uncompressed BMP. Your file is then available for immediate download.

Why should I convert ARW to BMP instead of using a different format?

ARW files require Sony-specific raw processing and are not readable by most non-photo-editing software. BMP is an uncompressed bitmap format natively supported by Windows, MS Paint, and many legacy applications. Converting ARW to BMP gives you a lossless, ready-to-display image with no compression artifacts, making it ideal for precise editing, archival, or use in custom software that accepts only standard bitmap files.

How does the conversion affect color depth, color profiles, and metadata?

The converter reads the raw Bayer pattern from the ARW file and demosaices it into RGB. If the ARW file contains an embedded ICC profile, the conversion uses it to preserve accurate color; otherwise sRGB is assumed. You can output 24-bit (8 bits per channel) or 48-bit (16 bits per channel) BMP. EXIF metadata is not written into the BMP as the format lacks a standard metadata section; only the pixel and color data are retained.
