How to Convert ARW to JPG (JPEG) on Windows  & Mac

If you have a Sony camera, you may encounter problems opening and working with the ARW files your camera produces. These files retain unprocessed information from the highly sensitive camera matrix, which saves as much visual information as possible. This is important for ensuring high quality, but it makes the files pretty large. Additionally, many image-viewing and -editing programs don’t support these files.

If you want to view, store, and share your ARW pictures easily, the best way to dodge all the difficulties is to convert the files to a more common format, like JPEG (JPG), preferably without losing quality. An easy way to do this is to use Movavi Video Converter. In spite of the name, the program works not just with video but also audio and image formats. This powerful software can convert ARW to JPG while keeping a high image quality. And thanks to batch conversion, you can process multiple photos at once, so you don’t have to spend hours on it.

Movavi Video Converter is available for Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP and macOS 10.7 or higher. Download the program now and follow this easy step-by-step tutorial to learn how to change the format of your photos from ARW to JPG.

As you can see, in most cases JPG files are more convenient to use than ARW files, so it’s worth considering converting files from ARW to JPG.
