Will You Lose Quality Converting ORF to RW2?
ORF Raw Photo encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. RW2 Raw Photo prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently. ORF Raw Photo's known limitation — requires RAW-capable software to open and edit — is resolved when converting to RW2 Raw Photo, which offers unprocessed sensor data from Panasonic Lumix cameras. The ORF Raw Photo source uses lossless encoding. The RW2 Raw Photo output uses lossless encoding. Since both share the same compression philosophy, quality transfer is highly efficient.
Converting between image formats is one of the most common file operations. When moving from ORF Raw Photo to RW2 Raw Photo, key considerations include color depth preservation, transparency support, and compression artifacts. Both formats preserve images losslessly, so this conversion is purely a container change with zero quality impact.
The ORF to RW2 conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Contains unprocessed 12-bit or 14-bit sensor data

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the maximum number of files I can convert at once?▼
Free users can convert several files per batch. PRO users enjoy unlimited batch sizes. For very large batches, your device's memory is the only practical limit.
Why choose RW2 over other formats?▼
RW2 Raw Photo offers unprocessed sensor data from Panasonic Lumix cameras. It's widely used for Panasonic Lumix camera users and RAW photography, making it an excellent choice for most image needs.
Will my ORF file be deleted after conversion?▼
No. Your original ORF file is never modified or deleted. Xonvert creates a separate RW2 copy — your source file remains untouched.
What image quality settings should I use?▼
For photos, use the High quality preset. For web graphics, Medium offers a good size-quality balance. The default preset works well for most use cases.
Does this work on my phone or tablet?▼
Yes. Xonvert works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets all supported.
Can I undo a conversion?▼
Since your original ORF file is never modified, there's nothing to undo. Your source file remains exactly as it was — only a new RW2 copy is created.
What if my ORF file won't convert?▼
Ensure the file isn't corrupted or DRM-protected. Try a different file to verify. If issues persist, the file may use an unsupported codec variant.
