HDR data will be tone-mapped

Your RAF file may contain HDR (High Dynamic Range) data. JP2 only supports standard dynamic range (SDR). Highlights and shadows will be compressed to fit the 8-bit range — subtle detail in very bright or dark areas may be lost.

Some metadata may not survive

Your RAF file may contain MakerNote metadata. JP2 has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.

About RAF (FUJIFILM) to JPEG 2000 Conversion

RAF or JP2 — which format should you use? The answer depends on your needs. Here's a quick breakdown.

RAF is Fujifilm's RAW photo format, preserving the X-Trans or Bayer sensor data. It has limited platform support. JP2 (JPEG 2000) offers wavelet-based compression with better quality than JPEG at the same bit rate. It has limited platform support.

Full Name: RAF uses Fujifilm RAW, while JP2 uses JPEG 2000. Compression: RAF uses Lossless, while JP2 uses Lossy & Lossless. Transparency: RAF uses No, while JP2 uses Yes.

So when should you convert RAF to JP2? This conversion is ideal when you When you specifically need a JP2 file for your workflow. This conversion helps you convert between formats quickly.

Your RAF file may contain HDR (High Dynamic Range) data. JP2 only supports standard dynamic range (SDR). Highlights and shadows will be compressed to fit the 8-bit range — subtle detail in very bright or dark areas may be lost.

What Happens When You Convert RAF (FUJIFILM) to JPEG 2000

Your RAF image is decoded into raw pixel data, then re-encoded as JP2.

1

Your RAF file is decoded — the compressed/stored pixel data is expanded into raw RGB pixels

2

HDR data is tone-mapped to standard dynamic range (8-bit per channel)

3

Pixels are re-encoded using JPEG 2000's lossless compression

4

Metadata (EXIF, ICC profiles) is transferred where JP2 supports it

5

The JP2 file is saved and ready for download

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use RAF or JP2?

It depends on your goal. RAF preserves full quality. JP2 preserves full quality. Choose based on whether file size or quality matters more for your use case.

Is JP2 higher quality than RAF?

Not necessarily. Your RAF file may contain HDR (High Dynamic Range) data. JP2 only supports standard dynamic range (SDR). Highlights and shadows will be compressed to fit the 8-bit range — subtle detail in very bright or dark areas may be lost. Quality depends on the compression type and settings, not just the format name.

Can I convert RAF to JP2 on Mac and Windows?

Yes. CocoConvert is a web-based tool that works in all modern browsers — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge — on any operating system including macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Is CocoConvert free for RAF to JP2?

Yes. Free users get 5 conversions per hour (250 MB each). Pro subscribers unlock 100 files per hour, 5 GB per file, and priority processing.

What tools does CocoConvert use for RAF to JP2?

CocoConvert uses FFmpeg for audio/video, Sharp for images, and qpdf for documents — the same open-source libraries used by Netflix, YouTube, and major enterprise platforms.
