How do I convert ARW to EXR using LetsConvert?

Upload your Sony ARW file, select EXR as the output format, and click Convert. The tool automatically preserves the original sensor resolution and color depth, delivering a 32-bit float EXR file for HDR compositing. Download the result instantly.

Why convert from ARW to EXR?

ARW is a Sony proprietary raw format that stores linear sensor data with no standard support outside photo editors. EXR (OpenEXR) is an open, high-dynamic-range format used in VFX and 3D rendering. Converting ARW to EXR enables seamless use in Nuke, Houdini, or Blender, with lossless compression options that can reduce storage while preserving image fidelity.

What happens to the Bayer pattern, color profile, and metadata during conversion?

The converter demosaics the ARW sensor data to reconstruct full RGB color, applies the embedded ICC profile, and stores the result as a 32-bit half-float EXR. EXIF metadata such as shutter speed and ISO is not preserved; luminance and color information is retained. If the ARW contains multiple frames or focus brackets, only the primary image is converted.
