RAF is the RAW format of Fujifilm cameras, from the FinePix DSLRs of the 2000s to the X and GFX series of today. A RAF file is the sensor's own record of the shot. It holds far more tonal information than a JPG, and almost nothing outside a RAW editor or Fujifilm's own software can display it. A client, a relative or a web form needs a JPG.
Add your RAF files and each is developed into a JPG at full resolution, using the white balance the camera measured and the rotation it recorded. We tested the developer with files from a FinePix S5 Pro; the same developer reads the RAF files of the X series, including those from X-Trans sensors.
Fujifilm development is included in the Pro plan, which accepts RAF files of up to 200 MB and 500 in a batch. The files reach us over an encrypted connection and are deleted, together with the JPGs, within one hour.
The film simulation is not in the RAW data
Much of what people love about Fujifilm pictures is the film simulation: Provia, Velvia, Classic Chrome, Acros and the others. It is important to know that a simulation is a recipe the camera applies while making its own JPG. The RAF records which one was selected, but the sensor data itself is untouched by it.
The picture developed here is therefore neutral. It has accurate colour and moderate contrast, and it does not have the Velvia punch or the muted tones of Classic Chrome. An Acros shot arrives in colour. If you want the look, the camera can develop its own RAF files to JPG with any simulation from the playback menu, and Fujifilm's desktop software does the same using the camera's processor. Use this page when what you need is a clean picture quickly.
X-Trans and Bayer sensors
Most X-series cameras use Fujifilm's X-Trans colour filter, a six-by-six pattern in place of the two-by-two Bayer pattern nearly every other camera has. It was designed to resist moiré without a blurring filter, and it makes developing harder, because the missing colours have to be worked out from a less regular neighbourhood. For years it was the reason some programs handled RAF files badly.
The developer used here has dedicated handling for X-Trans. GFX medium-format bodies, the X-A line and the older FinePix DSLRs use ordinary Bayer filters and are developed the standard way. You do not have to choose; the file says which sensor it came from.
Megapixels, compression and the limits
A 26-megapixel RAF from an X-T3, X-T4 or X-S10 is about 55 MB uncompressed and half that with lossless compression. The 40-megapixel files of the X-T5 and X-H2 run from 40 to 80 MB. All are developed at full size.
Above 50 megapixels the picture is developed at half its width and height, and a warning says so. That applies to the GFX bodies: a 51-megapixel GFX 50 file comes out at about 13 megapixels and a GFX 100 file at about 25, which is ample for proofs and sharing. Newer bodies also offer a lossy compressed RAF. If the developer cannot read a particular variant, you receive the preview stored in the file instead, with a note.
Frequently asked questions
Is my film simulation applied?
No. Simulations are processing the camera does for its own JPGs. The developed picture is neutral; add contrast and saturation in the editor if you want it livelier.
Does it read X-Trans files?
Yes. The developer handles the X-Trans pattern as well as the Bayer sensors of the GFX and older FinePix cameras.
Is RAF conversion free?
No. Camera RAW development belongs to the Pro plan. Converting HEIC, PSD, PDF and the other formats on this site stays free.
Does the JPG contain the shooting data?
No. Date, lens and exposure are not carried into the developed JPG. Keep the RAF files, which hold all of it.
Why does my JPG look flatter than the one from the camera?
The camera's JPG has a film simulation, sharpening and noise reduction applied. A neutral development has none of these. A little contrast in the editor closes most of the gap.
Can I develop to PNG or TIFF instead?
Yes. Both are in the Format menu, lossless at eight bits per channel.
