HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no account, nothing to install.
01
Upload your SRW files
Drag in SRW photos from your NX camera's card or an old 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 SRW files stay untouched on your device.
SRW
SRW is Samsung's RAW format from the NX camera line, which Samsung discontinued in 2015.
JPG
JPG is the most widely supported photo format, with lossy compression that keeps files small.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
Samsung RAW files come from the NX series, including the NX1, NX500, NX300 and NX30, plus a few compacts such as the EX2F. Samsung left the camera market, its RAW converter is no longer updated, and newer editing apps don't always list SRW support. That makes old SRW archives one of the harder RAW formats to open today.
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 | SRW | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Developed by | Samsung | Joint Photographic Experts Group |
| File extension | .srw | .jpg, .jpeg |
| Compression | Lossless or compressed | 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 gives old Samsung NX photos a second life.
Rescue an old NX archive
Samsung left the camera business in 2015. Convert SRW folders to JPG so they open on today's devices.
Share photos from a still-working NX1
Many photographers still shoot an NX1 or NX500. Convert the SRW files you want to share.
Open SRW without Samsung RAW Converter
Samsung's own converter is no longer updated. Use the browser instead.
Make prints from old trips
Print labs need JPG. Convert the SRW photos from past trips you want on paper.
Post throwback photos
Share old NX shots on social media, which won't accept SRW.
Build a family photo library
Move SRW photos into Google Photos, Apple Photos or a NAS as JPGs everyone can view.
Clean up a hard drive
Keep the SRW originals in cold storage and a JPG set for everyday browsing.
Send photos to friends who were there
JPGs open on any phone or computer.
Make a photo book
Book services take JPG. Convert your chosen NX photos.
Check what's on an old card
Preview a forgotten SD card's SRW files on any computer.
SUPPORTED FILES
SRW files from Samsung's NX system and RAW-capable compacts are supported.
NX1, NX500 and NX30 SRW files convert directly.
NX300, NX3000, NX2000, NX1000, NX200, NX100, NX11, NX10 and NX mini files convert too.
RAW-capable compacts such as the EX2F and WB2000 also wrote SRW.
Galaxy phones save RAW as DNG, not SRW. Use our DNG to JPG converter for those.
Upload a folder of SRW files and download the JPGs together as a ZIP.
TROUBLESHOOTING
These explain most of the differences you may notice.
01
The camera screen shows a JPEG made with your Picture Wizard setting. 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 SRW 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 SRW. Export from that editor to get the edited version.
04
This usually means the SRW 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.
05
Optical discs degrade over time. If a file fails, try another copy or recover the disc first, then upload the SRW again.
06
Samsung applied lens corrections in the camera's JPEG. A RAW editor with a lens profile can correct distortion and vignetting.
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 SRW files into JPG quickly, from any device.
