How to Convert Camera RAW to JPG on Your PC (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG)

Sometimes you just need a JPG to share, not a full RAW editor. Rotiva turns camera RAW files into JPG, PNG and other formats straight from File Explorer.

How to do it (3 steps)

  1. Select one or many RAW photos and start dragging them.
  2. Press Shift while you keep holding the mouse button.
  3. Point at JPG and let go. The JPG copies are saved next to the RAW files.

Supported cameras and formats

Rotiva reads DNG, CR2, CR3, CRW, NEF, NRW, ARW, SR2, ORF, RW2, RAF, PEF, SRW, X3F, 3FR and more.

When to use a RAW editor instead

Rotiva is built for quick conversion and has no exposure or color controls. For careful editing, use a RAW developer. For sharing a batch of shots quickly, drag and drop is much faster.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rotate RAW photos?

Yes. Open EDIT on the wheel. RAW files are read-only, so the edited copy is saved as a JPG.

Is my RAW file modified?

No. Rotiva only writes new files.
