Why would you need to convert an ARW file?
If you have a Sony camera, you may encounter problems opening and working with the ARW files your camera produces. These files retain unprocessed information from the highly sensitive camera matrix, which saves as much visual information as possible. This is important for ensuring high quality, but it makes the files pretty large. Additionally, many image-viewing and -editing programs don’t support these files.
There are a few common problems that ARW-to-JPG conversion can solve:
Can’t open ARW files in an image viewer
Can’t share ARW files on a smartphone
ARW files are too large
