Camera RAW conversion
Convert RAF to WebP
Updated Jul 2026
RAF is the raw format Fujifilm cameras save straight off the sensor, and WebP is a compact image format built for the web. To convert RAF to WebP, open the raw file in a converter and export it as WebP. Doing this on your own computer means the raw file, and the camera data inside it, never has to leave your machine.

How to convert RAF to WebP
- Open Morphjet and drag in the RAF files you want to convert, or point it at the whole folder from a shoot.
- Choose WebP as the output format, and pick a quality level if you want a smaller file.
- Convert. The WebP files are written next to your originals, and nothing leaves your machine.
RAF vs WebP: what actually changes
| RAF | WebP | |
|---|---|---|
| File size | Very large, tens of megabytes per shot | Small, a fraction of the raw file's size |
| Quality | Full sensor data, nothing processed away | Compressed for web use, with some detail lost on export |
| Opens everywhere | No, needs raw-capable software | Yes, supported by current browsers and most apps |
| Transparency | Not applicable | Yes, if you need it |
| Keeps camera metadata (EXIF) | Yes, in full | Only if you choose to keep it on export |
| Ready to edit | Yes, meant for editing before final output | No, treated as a finished image |
When to convert, and when not to
Convert RAF to WebP once you've picked and edited a shot and want a small, fast-loading file for a website, gallery, or app.
Keep the RAF file if you still plan to edit exposure, white balance, or color, because a WebP is a compressed, finished image and can't be pushed around the way raw data can.
Why not just use an online converter?
A RAF file usually carries the camera model, lens, exposure settings, and sometimes the GPS location where it was shot, all stored in its metadata. Sending that file to an online converter hands a stranger's server your raw sensor data along with that information. Converting it on your own computer means the shot, and everything attached to it, stays put.
Questions
Does converting RAF to WebP lose quality?
Yes, some. RAF holds the full, unprocessed sensor data, and WebP is a compressed format meant for finished images, so you're trading raw flexibility for a small, web-ready file. For a final image that's usually fine, but keep the RAF if you might want to re-edit it later.
Will the WebP keep my camera's metadata?
Only if you choose to. Morphjet can carry over the EXIF data, including date and location, or you can leave it out if you're posting the image publicly and want to keep that information private.
Can I open a RAF file without special software?
Not easily. RAF is Fujifilm's raw format, and most browsers, phones, and photo viewers can't read it directly, which is one reason people convert their favorite shots to WebP.
Can I convert RAF to WebP without uploading my photos?
Yes. A desktop app like Morphjet converts the files on your own computer, so the raw images never travel over the internet. It works the same with your wifi off.
Morphjet converts RAF, WebP, and 1,800+ other formats, all on your machine. Launching this July.
