ARW is Sony's RAW format, used across their Alpha mirrorless and DSLR camera lineup to store unprocessed sensor data with maximum editing flexibility for exposure, white balance, and color correction. Like other RAW formats, ARW files can't be viewed directly in browsers, photo viewers, or social platforms, since they require demosaicing before they're even displayable as a normal image.
Converting ARW to JPG performs that demosaicing and compresses the result into a small, universally compatible file, which is the standard step once a Sony shoot has been edited and is ready to share, upload, or print.
- Install Batchify Raw Image Converter on your Windows PC.
- Open the app and select Batch Mode for an entire shoot, or Individual Mode for a single ARW file.
- Drag your ARW files or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
- Set the "From" format to ARW and the "To" format to JPG.
- Adjust the JPG quality slider to balance file size against image detail.
