RAF vs BMP Format Comparison

Aspect RAF (Source Format) BMP (Target Format)
Format Overview
RAF
Sony RAW Format

RAW image format capturing unprocessed sensor data from Sony cameras, preserving maximum dynamic range.

RAW
BMP
Bitmap Image File

Raster format storing uncompressed or RLE-compressed pixel data for exact fidelity.

Uncompressed
Compression

Lossless or minimal compression retaining full sensor data.

Typically uncompressed or RLE compression; no data loss.

Color Depth

12-bit or 14-bit per channel RAW data for extensive color range.

Supports up to 24-bit RGB and optional alpha in BMP v4.

File Size

Large files (20–60 MB) containing full sensor and metadata.

Large files (5–50 MB) scaling with resolution and bit depth.

Processing Stage

Unprocessed RAW data requiring development software.

Processed, ready for editing and archiving without further conversion.

Advantages
  • Maximum image quality and dynamic range
  • Full control over post-processing
  • Proprietary Sony profiles supported
  • Uncompressed fidelity—no artifacts
  • Broad compatibility with editors
  • Simple, widely supported format
Disadvantages
  • Requires specialized RAW software
  • Large file sizes
  • Large uncompressed sizes
  • No native web support

Why Convert RAF to BMP?

Converting RAF to BMP provides exact pixel representation without compression artifacts, ideal for precise editing and archival.

Our converter retains full-bit depth and metadata, enabling efficient batch processing of RAF files into BMPs for downstream workflows.

Use BMP outputs in applications requiring raw bitmap access or legacy systems without RAW support.

Key Benefits:

  • Pixel-perfect, uncompressed images
  • Support for high bit-depth color
  • Batch conversion for large volumes
  • Fully online—no installation needed
