HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no account, nothing to install.
01
Upload your ORF files
Drag in ORF photos from your OM-D, PEN or OM System camera's card or a photo backup. You can add a whole shoot at once.
02
Convert to JPG
Start the conversion. Each RAW file is developed with LibRaw, an open-source RAW decoder used by many photo apps, and saved as JPG.
03
Download the JPG files
Download each JPG as it finishes or the whole set as one ZIP. Your original ORF files stay untouched on your device.
ORF
ORF is the RAW format of Olympus and OM System cameras, including the OM-D, PEN and OM-1 series.
JPG
JPG is the most widely supported photo format, with lossy compression that keeps files small.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
Olympus RAW Format comes from Micro Four Thirds bodies such as the OM-D E-M1, E-M5 and E-M10, the PEN range and the newer OM System OM-1 and OM-5. The files are smaller than full-frame RAW because the sensor is smaller. Olympus Picture Modes and Art Filters are applied in the camera's JPEG only, not to the ORF data.
TARGET
The format every phone, browser, printer kiosk and social site accepts. JPG compresses photos by discarding detail the eye is unlikely to notice, so a 24 MP picture fits in a few megabytes. It has no transparency and only 8 bits per color channel, and every re-save loses a little more quality.
| Feature | ORF | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Developed by | Olympus / OM System | Joint Photographic Experts Group |
| File extension | .orf | .jpg, .jpeg |
| Compression | Lossless | Lossy |
| Transparency | No | No |
| Color depth | 12 or 14-bit sensor data | 8-bit per channel |
| Best for | Editing with full exposure and color latitude | Photos for sharing, web and print |
| Opens in browsers and phones | No, needs RAW software | Yes, everywhere |
USE CASES
When a JPG works better than the original RAW file.
Share without OM Workspace
Send JPGs from an E-M10, E-M5 or E-M1 shoot to anyone, without Olympus software.
Get JPGs from a RAW-only card
If the camera was set to RAW only, convert the ORF files to get everyday copies.
Post birding and wildlife shots
Micro Four Thirds bodies are popular for long lenses. Post the best frames as JPG.
Upload travel photos
Small OM-D and PEN cameras travel well. Share the photos online as JPG.
Print at a lab
Photo labs need JPG files. Convert the ORF files you want printed.
Open an old Olympus archive
ORF files from an E-PL1 or E-M5 become JPGs that work on any device.
Preview a card on a laptop
Check a shoot on a computer without RAW software.
Send to a camera club or competition
Most clubs and competitions want JPG entries.
Add photos to a blog or website
CMS platforms take JPG uploads, not ORF.
Proof a session
Share JPG proofs and edit only the ORF files you keep.
SUPPORTED FILES
ORF files from Olympus and OM System Micro Four Thirds cameras are supported.
E-M1, E-M5 and E-M10 files in every generation convert directly.
E-P, E-PL and PEN-F files convert the same way.
OM-1 and OM-5 files are ORF too, but they are newer than our RAW decoder's camera list and may need the DNG workaround below.
Four Thirds E-series DSLRs and RAW-capable Stylus and Tough compacts also wrote ORF.
Add every ORF from a shoot and download the JPGs together as a ZIP.
TROUBLESHOOTING
These explain most differences between the JPG and the camera's preview.
01
The camera screen shows a JPEG made with your Picture Mode or Art Filter. The JPG is developed without it, so tweak color and contrast in any photo editor if you want that look back.
02
RAW files are developed with neutral contrast so no highlight or shadow detail is thrown away. Add contrast or brightness in an editor, or edit the ORF in a RAW editor if you need precise control.
03
Edits live in your editor's catalog or an .xmp sidecar file, not in the ORF. Export from that editor to get the edited version.
04
Each new camera model tweaks its RAW data, and decoders need an update to read it. If a ORF from a very recent body fails, convert it to DNG with the free Adobe DNG Converter and use our DNG to JPG tool.
05
This usually means the ORF was cut off while copying from the card. Copy it again from the original card or backup. A file that opens as a tiny preview in other apps is often incomplete too.
06
High Res Shot combines several exposures into a larger ORF. Some decoders read these merged files differently, so check the result and use OM Workspace if it doesn't look right.
Lightroom, Capture One, darktable and your camera maker's software are built for editing RAW photos one at a time. dragdropdo is built for turning ORF files into JPG quickly, from any device.
