The ARW file format stores data in the ARW format. Converting to AVIF produces a image file that applies AV1 intra-frame compression delivering 50% smaller files than JPEG at equivalent quality, with wide colour gamut support. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. Colour profiles and orientation metadata are preserved in the output. This makes AVIF the practical choice when the destination system requires it or when the target format offers better compatibility or compression. 1converter runs this conversion on the server: your file is uploaded encrypted over HTTPS, converted using trusted open-source libraries, and the output is held for 24 hours before automatic deletion.
