RAW Studio

Browse a library of camera RAW photos, choose your picks, and batch convert them without uploads. Edit individual photos, rotate a selection, or set a long-edge limit for the whole export. Save into a connected working folder, download one photo directly, or download a ZIP of selected photos with their edits applied.

Supported formats

  • RAW input: DNG, Canon CR2/CR3, Nikon NEF/NRW, Sony ARW, Fujifilm RAF, Olympus ORF, Panasonic RW2, Samsung SRW, Pentax PEF and other LibRaw formats; camera support varies
  • Also opens JPEG, PNG and WebP
  • Export: 8-bit sRGB JPEG, PNG or WebP, or uncompressed 16-bit Linear DNG
  • Save and load XMP sidecars for supported Adobe Camera Raw settings and RAW Studio edits

Why it is different

  • Review a grid or filmstrip with picks, camera information and thumbnails that update after editing. Zoom and pan to inspect detail; Fit is the minimum zoom.
  • Camera look starts from full-resolution RAW and uses the embedded JPEG as a color and tone reference. The JPEG appears while RAW loads; finished previews and exports use RAW pixels. Matching is approximate.
  • Available, exactly matched lens calibrations start enabled for distortion, vignetting and lateral chromatic aberration. Choose a profile manually or adjust distortion without one.
  • Adjust exposure, tonal range, Kelvin temperature, tint, vibrance, saturation, Clarity and Dehaze. Crop freely or to a ratio, rotate, and compare before and after.
  • Apply local AI Denoise to full-resolution RAW/DNG or JPEG/PNG/WebP, adjust its strength, or process a mixed selection sequentially. Compare noise reduction at 100% zoom; exports include the cleaned pixels.
  • Rotate selected photos together and resize exports by long edge without upscaling. Each photo keeps its own edits and aspect ratio.

Privacy and local processing

Photos are decoded, edited and exported on your device without an account or Adobe service. Originals change only when you choose Overwrite original in a connected working folder. The open library lasts for this browser session. Save images and XMP before closing; reconnecting a working folder restores its saved sidecars.

FAQ

Can I save directly into a folder on my computer?

Yes, in browsers with read/write directory access, such as desktop Chrome and Edge. Connect a working folder, export images into Exports, and use Save edits to update XMP beside the originals. Keep both files or replace previous exports. Larger folders are searchable and opened in batches of up to 40 photos. Other browsers retain file/folder import and downloads.

How does AI Denoise work?

RAW Studio runs the RawNIND linear model locally at native resolution for RAW/DNG and JPEG/PNG/WebP. Ordinary images are converted to linear light for processing, with transparency preserved. Apply AI Denoise, adjust Amount from 0 to 100%, and use Before denoise to compare while keeping other edits visible. The model and engine download on first use; WebGPU is used when available, with a CPU fallback. Large photos can take several minutes. XMP restores the Studio recipe; export a JPEG, PNG, WebP or Linear DNG to carry denoised pixels into other apps. This is a separate model from Lightroom AI Denoise.

Does Camera look use RAW or the embedded JPEG?

Both Camera look and Develop RAW process full-resolution RAW data. Camera look estimates color and tone from the embedded JPEG, which also serves as a temporary loading preview. Finished viewing and export use developed RAW pixels. The match is approximate because cameras use their own rendering. Files without a readable embedded JPEG open in Develop RAW with an explanation.

Is lens correction enabled automatically?

Yes, when an exact profile and usable calibration are available. Distortion, vignetting and lateral chromatic aberration are enabled independently. Camera look can also refine framing against the embedded JPEG with a supported automatic distortion profile. Missing calibrations stay unavailable; you can choose a profile explicitly or use the manual distortion slider.

Which cameras are supported?

Compatibility depends on the bundled LibRaw decoder and the camera model, not just the extension. Unsupported or damaged files show an error. JPEG, PNG and WebP can also be opened.

Can I rotate, resize and convert a batch?

Yes. Select photos in Library view, rotate the selection if needed, choose an output format and optionally limit the long edge. Resizing preserves aspect ratio and never enlarges a photo. One selected photo downloads directly; multiple photos produce a ZIP with a Download ZIP button when ready. Each photo keeps its individual edits.

Can I edit without changing the image format?

Keep format preserves JPEG, PNG, WebP and DNG, including in mixed selections. DNG output is always processed Linear DNG. Other camera RAW formats, such as CR3, NEF and ARW, become JPEG in this mode; the original files stay unchanged.

What does Linear DNG preserve?

It stores the developed image as uncompressed 16-bit linear RGB with edits applied. It does not retain the original sensor mosaic or adjustable edit history. Camera and GPS metadata are omitted from image exports. Keep the original RAW and save an XMP sidecar when you want to preserve sensor data and editable settings.

Can I use the edits in Lightroom?

XMP sidecars transfer supported Adobe Camera Raw settings, including light, color, crop, rotation and lens correction amounts. Lightroom uses its own rendering and profiles, so the result can differ; Camera look matching is specific to RAW Studio. XMP stores current settings, not the Lightroom History panel. Use matching sidecar names beside proprietary RAW originals. Adobe normally stores metadata inside DNG, JPEG and TIFF, so do not rely on automatic sidecar loading for those formats.

Are there file limits?

A library holds up to 40 photos, an application limit to bound browser workload. Inputs can be up to 150 MiB each, or 320 MiB for DNG, with decoded dimensions up to 50 megapixels and 16,384 pixels per side. Export long-edge limits range from 1 to 16,384 pixels. ZIP archives are limited to 512 MiB; use smaller selections or resized JPEGs for smaller downloads.

Are my library and edits saved automatically?

Saving is explicit. Save edits writes XMP beside originals in a connected working folder; reconnecting it restores supported settings. Without folder access, download XMP and reopen it with the originals. The open library is temporary; there is no saved catalog or export back to proprietary camera RAW formats.

Popular tasks

Browse a RAW photo library without uploads

Open files or a folder, review a grid or filmstrip, zoom into details and mark picks. Thumbnails update to show your edits.

Develop RAW with camera color and lens corrections

Camera look approximates the embedded JPEG’s color using full-resolution RAW pixels. Available exact lens calibrations start enabled.

Crop and adjust individual photos

Set Kelvin temperature and tint, tune light, Clarity and Dehaze, then crop or rotate. Compare before and after without changing the original.

Batch rotate, resize and convert RAW photos

Select photos, rotate them together, and limit the export’s long edge. Download JPEG, PNG, WebP or Linear DNG directly for one photo, or in a ZIP for a selection.

Keep the format or save XMP settings

Keep format preserves JPEG, PNG, WebP and DNG; other camera RAW files become JPEG. DNG stores processed pixels. Save XMP with the original RAW for editable settings and supported Lightroom adjustments.
