What is RAW Viewer?

RAW Viewer opens and displays camera RAW files directly in your web browser without requiring desktop software like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. View Canon CR2 files from EOS cameras, Nikon NEF files from D-series and Z-series cameras, Sony ARW files from Alpha cameras, Adobe DNG files, and other professional RAW formats. The viewer processes RAW sensor data with proper demosaicing, white balance correction, and color space conversion to display accurate image previews. All RAW decoding happens locally in your browser using LibRaw-WASM for complete privacy.

How to View RAW Files Online

Upload your RAW camera file by clicking Open RAW File or drag and drop directly from your file explorer. The viewer automatically detects Canon CR2, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Adobe DNG, Olympus ORF, Panasonic RW2, Fujifilm RAF, Pentax PEF, and Samsung SRW formats. RAW files with embedded JPEG thumbnails display instantly in under 200ms for quick preview. Full RAW processing with demosaicing takes 2-4 seconds depending on file size. View RAW images at half resolution for fast preview or full quality for detail inspection. No software installation, no registration, and no file size limits.

When to Use RAW File Viewer

Use RAW Viewer to quickly check RAW photo quality on computers without Lightroom or Photoshop installed. Preview RAW images from memory cards before importing to desktop software. Review RAW files shared by clients, photographers, or colleagues who sent CR2 or NEF files. Verify focus, exposure, and composition in RAW photos without waiting for full software launch. Inspect RAW image details on laptops, work computers, or shared devices where installing photography software isn't possible. Check RAW file integrity after downloading from cloud storage or receiving via email.

Browser-Based RAW Processing

RAW Viewer uses LibRaw-WASM compiled to WebAssembly for native-speed RAW decoding without server uploads. Embedded JPEG thumbnail extraction provides instant preview in 50-200ms for quick inspection. Full RAW demosaicing with VNG interpolation processes sensor Bayer data to RGB color at half resolution in 2-4 seconds. Automatic white balance applies camera settings for accurate color reproduction. Output color space conversion to sRGB ensures correct display across all monitors. All RAW processing happens locally ensuring complete privacy of your professional photography files.
