How do I convert RAW to JPG?

Add your RAW file to the upload area above, then press Convert. The JPG file downloads straight to your device. You do not need an account, and there is no watermark.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work.

Does converting to JPG reduce quality?

Nothing is re-encoded — the content is taken out of the RAW container as-is, so its quality is unchanged.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 120 MB per file for this conversion. Because the work happens in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory — larger files work on a desktop with plenty of RAM and may fail on an older phone.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and press Convert All. Each file is processed independently, so one failure does not stop the rest, and you can download everything together as a ZIP.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. FileTools360 works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android, including choosing files straight from your camera roll. Very large videos may run out of memory on a phone — those are better converted on a laptop.

RAW and JPG explained

A camera RAW file is the sensor's unprocessed readout, plus the camera's settings as metadata. It is not really an image yet: it has to be developed, which is why the same RAW can produce very different-looking photos.

JPEG is a lossy image format designed for photographs. It works by discarding detail the human eye is least likely to notice, particularly in colour and in smooth gradients, which is why it compresses photos far better than it compresses text or line art.

Where RAW files come from: Interchangeable-lens cameras and phones shooting in professional mode.
Where JPG is used: Digital cameras, phone screenshots on Android, and essentially every photo on the pre-2015 web.

RAW vs JPG

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

RAW compared with JPG
Property	Source	Target
Compression	Lossless	Lossy
Transparency	No	No
Animation	No	No
Introduced	—	1992
Browser support	Needs dedicated software. Convert for sharing.	Opens everywhere — every browser, OS and device.

RAW is stronger at: Maximum editing latitude — recover blown highlights and lifted shadows. 12 or 14 bits per channel instead of JPEG's 8. White balance and exposure remain fully adjustable after the fact.
JPG is stronger at: Opens on literally every device, browser and application ever made. Small files for photographic content. Adjustable quality, so you control the size/fidelity trade-off.

Why convert RAW to JPG?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of RAW: you want to share, upload or print directly. JPG is the better fit when you are sharing a photograph and compatibility matters more than squeezing out the last few kilobytes.

RAW limitations that prompt the switch: Every manufacturer has its own incompatible variant. Very large files. Cannot be viewed or shared without conversion.
What you give up: No transparency — there is no alpha channel at all. Visible artefacts around sharp edges and text.

Does converting RAW to JPG reduce quality?

RAW stores your data exactly; JPG does not. Some detail is discarded permanently in exchange for a much smaller file, which is usually the right trade for sharing and publishing. Keep your RAW original if it is the only copy — the conversion cannot be undone.

Saving a JPEG at 100% quality is still lossy — it is a large file that has been through the same discarding process, not a lossless copy.
