RAF vs TIFF Format Comparison

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

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

RAW
TIFF
Tagged Image File Format

Flexible raster format supporting lossless compression and high bit-depth channels.

Lossless
Compression

Lossless or minimal compression retaining all sensor data for maximum post-processing flexibility.

Optional lossless compression (LZW, ZIP, PACKBITS) preserving pixel data without quality loss.

Color Depth

12-bit or 14-bit per channel RAW data (36-42 bits total) with extensive dynamic range.

Supports 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit per channel for deep color workflows.

File Size

Large files (20-60 MB) containing full sensor data and metadata information.

Very large files (20-200 MB) depending on compression, layers, and bit depth.

Processing Stage

Unprocessed RAW sensor data requiring development software for viewing and editing.

Processed or partially processed, ready for editing, archiving, and printing.

Why Convert RAF to TIFF?

Converting RAF to TIFF provides a versatile, lossless image format ideal for professional editing and long-term archiving. TIFF supports multiple compression schemes and high bit-depth channels, preserving every nuance of the original RAW data.

Our converter retains all EXIF and metadata from your RAF files, including camera settings and creation details. Batch processing allows converting multiple RAF images to TIFF in one go, streamlining your workflow.

Use TIFF outputs for print-ready images, scientific analysis, or any application requiring uncompromised image fidelity and metadata integrity.

Key Benefits:

  • Lossless compression with multiple scheme options
  • Supports 8-bit to 32-bit channels for deep color workflows
  • Batch conversion for high-volume projects
  • Full metadata retention including EXIF, IPTC, XMP
