How to convert NEF to JPG

  1. Add your NEF files: drop them on the box above, or choose them from your device. You can add up to 20 at once.
  2. Your browser finds the JPG your camera stored inside each file, turns it upright and saves it as a new JPG. Nothing is uploaded.
  3. Check the pixel size shown next to each file, then download each JPG, or all of them as one zip.

What is a NEF file?

NEF is the RAW format of Nikon cameras. It is built like a TIFF file, and ExifTool's list of EXIF tags places a JPG made from the photo, which it calls JpgFromRaw, in a sub-section of NEF files.

In the samples measured, a D850 stores 8256 × 5504, a Z 6 6048 × 4024 and a D7500 5568 × 3712, the full size of each photo.

What is a JPG?

JPG (also written JPEG) is the format for sharing photographs. It is lossy, which keeps files small, and every browser, phone, editing app, print lab and email client opens it. It has no transparency.

Questions

Is it private?

Yes. The converter is a page, not an upload: your browser opens each file, converts it and saves the result to your device. No file is sent to creavio or to anyone else, and nothing is stored after you close the tab.

Is the quality kept?

This tool saves the JPG your camera stored inside the RAW file. Your edits and white balance changes are not applied. Some cameras (older Canon and Sony models) and many phone DNGs store only a small preview. The tool shows the output size before you download. The JPG is saved again at quality 92 out of 100, and location, camera settings and other details in the RAW are not copied to it.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 20 at a time. Download them one by one, or all together as a single zip.

Is there a file size limit?

Each file can be up to 200 MB, and its JPG must fit this browser's pixel limit, 100 megapixels on a desktop computer. A larger file shows a message.

Which browsers does it work in?

Current versions of Chrome and Safari. The tool reads the file itself and uses the browser's own JPG decoder, so there is nothing to install.

Zip files are built with fflate (MIT license). Licence texts.
