How do I convert ARW to DIB with LetsConvert?

Upload your Sony ARW file, choose DIB as the output format, and click Convert. The tool processes the raw sensor data into a Device Independent Bitmap at full resolution, then you download your DIB file. It works in any browser, and you can convert multiple ARW files in one batch.

Why would I convert ARW to DIB instead of using another format?

ARW is a compressed raw format from Sony cameras, while DIB is an uncompressed bitmap used by Windows. Converting to DIB ensures compatibility with legacy Windows applications that can't open raw files. It's useful for embedding images in old software or for a lossless pixel grid, but note DIB files are much larger than ARW.

What technical details are preserved when converting ARW to DIB?

The converter fully demosaics the RAW sensor data, applies the embedded white balance and color profile, and exports at the original resolution and bit depth (up to 16-bit). DIB does not support layers or alpha channels, so the output is a flat, uncompressed image—ideal for editing in legacy software that requires a simple bitmap.
