What is a RAF file?
A .RAF file is most commonly a Fujifilm RAW Image created by a Fujifilm digital camera. It stores uncompressed photographic data exactly as captured by the camera sensor. However, a .RAF file can also be a security video archive used by Genetec Security Center, a Report Archive File from Digital Metaphors ReportBuilder, or a Resource Allocation File for the Nintendo Wii.
Because .RAF has multiple possible meanings, we recommend using viewer.online/raf to identify the actual format of your file.
How to open RAF files?
Photographers typically open Fujifilm RAW files using dedicated desktop software like Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, or the official Fujifilm Raw File Converter. If your file is a video archive, you need the Genetec software suite to view it.
If you do not have these specialized applications, viewer.online/raf analyzes .RAF files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.
File conversion and best practices
RAW camera files are extremely large and are not suitable for web uploads or email sharing. Photographers usually edit the .RAF file and then export it to a standard image format. We recommend file conversion to sensible target formats like .JPG, .PNG, or .TIFF on convert.guru.
Summary
viewer.online/raf directly opens and previews .RAF files in the browser, eliminating the need to install software or troubleshoot compatibility issues.
