NEFJPGNEF to JPG Converter
NEF is Nikon's raw format, written by every Nikon body from the oldest DSLRs to current mirrorless. PhotoTray decodes the full raw data on your own machine and produces JPGs you can review, send and upload — a whole shoot in one pass.
Drop in your files — JPGs land in the folder you pick — your NEF files are never modified.
Why convert
Why convert NEF to JPG
The same reason as every other raw format: it is sensor data rather than a picture, and only software that understands your specific camera can turn it into one. For reviewing a shoot, sending proofs or uploading anything, you need a JPG — and you need several hundred of them, not one.
- Reviewing a Nikon shoot without a raw editor open.
- Proofs for a client with no Nikon software.
- Uploading to a service that rejects NEF.
- Making an archive of old Nikon files viewable.
