RW2 (RAW) to AVIF Converter

RW2 is a RAW image format used by such Panasonic cameras as LX5 and LX7. Although, photos stored in the format cannot be printed right away, they are perfect for professional photographers because they are stored without pre-processing, which allows customizing the image settings in a video editor according to your needs. However, not many programs can open RW2 so the best way is to convert it to a more popular image format.

AVIF is the youngest, but most efficient and advanced codec for image compression. AVIF file size is 10 times smaller than JPEG with the same image quality. AVIF supports not only Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) images but also High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG). It can store both image items and image sequences. AVIF is a HEIF conformant format. Netflix has published the first AVIF image in 2018, but still only a few software support it.
