RAF to TGA for Image Workflows
Fast, instant RAF (FUJIFILM) to TGA conversion. No signup required. Just drop your .raf file and get .tga in seconds.
Batch Settings
HDR data will be tone-mapped
Your RAF file may contain HDR (High Dynamic Range) data. TGA 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 EXIF, MakerNote metadata. TGA has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
