Can I convert password-protected RW2 files?
Encrypted or DRM-protected files cannot be converted. You'll need to remove protection first using the original software.

Yes! Drag multiple files into the converter for batch processing. All files convert simultaneously and can be downloaded as a ZIP archive.
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.
