Free online Nikon RAW→AVIF converter. Fast, private, no sign-up.
Converting Nikon RAW to AVIF is one of those small tasks that should be instant and free — and here it is. Drop in your Nikon RAW file (a .nef) and download a ready-to-use AVIF file (a .avif) — no software to install, no account to create, and no watermark on the output.
Nikon RAW is an image format. Converting to or from it lets you use the same picture in apps and on platforms that expect a different format.
AVIF, based on the AV1 codec, delivers the smallest files of the mainstream formats at a given quality, with transparency and HDR — at the cost of slower encoding and slightly less universal support than WebP.
Most people convert Nikon RAW to AVIF for compatibility — a website, app or device insists on AVIF, and Nikon RAW simply won't open. AVIF is widely supported, which makes it a dependable target. Under the hood the conversion runs on libvips and ImageMagick — the same libraries that power image pipelines across the web — so colour, transparency and metadata are handled correctly wherever the target format supports them.
Unlike Nikon RAW, AVIF supports transparency, so it's a good target if you later need a cut-out.
You might be optimising images for a faster-loading page, exporting for a specific app or marketplace, or just making sure a colleague on a different device can open what you send.
Privacy is the default here. Your Nikon RAW file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted, downloaded the moment it's ready, and then deleted automatically a short time afterwards. We never keep your files, never build a library of your content, and never make you sign up to download the result.
