How do I convert RAF to GIF?

Upload a Fujifilm RAF file, pick GIF as the output, adjust palette size or resize if needed, hit Convert, and download the finished GIF. The process takes seconds and uses the raw data to produce an optimized 256-color image.

Why would I need to convert RAF to GIF?

RAF is a camera raw format that isn't supported by most web browsers, email clients, or legacy software. GIF's universal compatibility and small file size make it perfect for sharing snapshots, small animations, and web graphics. Converting significantly decreases file size and ensures the image displays anywhere.

What happens to color depth and metadata when I convert RAF to GIF?

RAF captures 14-bit color with rich dynamic range. GIF is limited to an 8-bit palette of 256 distinct colors. The conversion demosaics the raw sensor data, applies white balance, and quantizes to a GIF palette, discarding raw metadata and most color nuance. For archival purposes, export to TIFF or PNG first.
