About RAF (FUJIFILM) to OPENEXR Conversion
RAF (introduced 2003) and EXR (introduced 2003) are both image formats, but they differ in important ways. RAF is Fujifilm's RAW photo format, preserving the X-Trans or Bayer sensor data. EXR (OpenEXR) is a high-dynamic-range format used in VFX, film, and 3D rendering pipelines.
Full Name: RAF uses Fujifilm RAW, while EXR uses OpenEXR Image. Compression: RAF uses Lossless, while EXR uses Lossy & Lossless. Transparency: RAF uses No, while EXR uses Yes.
When you convert RAF to EXR, the goal is to convert between formats quickly. Converting RAF to EXR maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings. Understanding these technical differences helps you choose the right format for your workflow.
Your RAF file is decoded and re-encoded as EXR. The conversion involves 4 steps: (1) your raf file is uploaded and the format is validated, (2) the file content is decoded into its raw representation, (3) the data is re-encoded in exr format with optimal settings, (4) the converted file is ready for download.
CocoConvert's converter handles the entire pipeline server-side using FFmpeg, Sharp, and qpdf — battle-tested libraries used by streaming platforms and enterprise tools. Files are encrypted in transit and deleted within 24 hours.
