Convert RAW to JPEG

The RAW file extension, standing for "Raw Image Data File", is used to store unprocessed image data captured by digital cameras or scanners. This format preserves the highest level of detail and dynamic range, allowing for extensive post-processing without quality loss. Originating in the early days of digital photography, RAW files have become essential for professional photographers and graphic designers who require maximum control over image adjustments such as exposure, white balance, and color correction. The format's ability to retain all sensor data makes it invaluable for producing high-quality, editable images.

JPEG, short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, is a widely-used image file format for compressing digital photographs. Established in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, it revolutionized digital imagery by providing efficient, lossy compression that maintains significant image quality. Primarily used in digital cameras, web graphics, and image sharing, JPEG files support full-color imaging with 24-bit depth, enabling detailed and high-quality photographs in relatively small file sizes.
