How to Convert NEF to JPG (JPEG) on Windows & Mac
When it comes to taking photographs, we always want to keep the most memorable moments of our lives in the best possible quality images. That’s why many people buy professional cameras that promise great results. But, as it turns out, the best quality images are achieved with these cameras by keeping photos in a RAW image format, which can result in numerous problems. “RAW” implies that such images retain as much unprocessed visual information from the camera’s sensor as possible. It is great from the professional perspective, but for the everyday user, it means having much larger files and consequent problems with opening, editing, and printing such images. RAW is the generic name for the unprocessed image format; it may be named differently, depending on the camera manufacturer.
NEF stands for Nikon Electronic Format, which is the RAW image format used by Nikon, one of the most popular camera manufacturers. These files cannot be easily viewed on a computer and require the use of professional software, which is often expensive and hard to work with.
Here are some of the issues you may be familiar with.
The easiest way out of this situation is to convert the NEF files to a more universal image format, like JPEG (JPG). The flexibility of this format will enable you to easily view the photographs on almost any device and at the same time save space on your hard drive. In this guide, we explain how to convert NEF to JPG and compare the two formats.
