What to know about NEF to JPG conversion
- NEF RAW files are developed with neutral default settings (white balance from the camera, no creative adjustments).
- JPG uses lossy compression, so files are usually much smaller than NEF. Use the quality slider to balance size and detail.
- JPG is best for photographs and images where a small file size matters, and opens in every browser, phone, camera and image editor.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert NEF to JPG here?
Yes. Your files are processed entirely on your own device by WebAssembly code running in the browser. They are never uploaded, so nobody else can see them, and the converter keeps working even if your connection drops after the page loads.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no server-side limit. The only limit is the memory available to your browser, typically 1.5–4 GB on desktop computers.
Can I convert several NEF files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted in parallel according to your device's CPU cores, and you can apply the same settings to all of them.
