02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • A RAW photo from a Sony camera, converted at full resolution
  • Developed with the camera's own white balance into standard 8-bit sRGB color, ready to view and share
  • Saved as a lossless PNG, so no quality is lost in this step
  • Transparency is kept

Good to know

  • The photo is developed automatically with the camera's white balance. There are no exposure, color or noise edits, so for fine control develop it in Lightroom or Camera Raw instead.
  • Support depends on the camera model: very new cameras can fail until they are supported. Files that were only renamed from another format are rejected.
  • A full-size photo as PNG is large, often tens of megabytes. For sharing, JPG or WebP is much smaller.
  • Metadata such as EXIF and the GPS location is not copied into the new file.

ARW vs PNG

ARW

An ARW file is a RAW photo from a Sony camera. It holds the unprocessed sensor data, so it keeps maximum detail for editing, but it is huge and most apps and websites can't open it. Converting it gives you a normal image, developed with the camera's own white balance.

Used in: Sony cameras · Professional photography · Photo editing

PNG

A PNG file stores images without losing any quality (lossless), and supports transparency. It's the default choice for screenshots, logos, icons, and any graphic that needs a see-through background.

Used in: Screenshots · Logos & icons · Graphics with transparency
