About the formats
What is ORF?
ORF is the RAW format of Olympus cameras and of the OM System cameras that followed them. They use the Micro Four Thirds sensor size, so files are smaller than those from full frame cameras, usually 15 to 25 MB.
What is JPG?
JPG (also written JPEG) has been the standard format for photos since 1992. It uses lossy compression, which keeps files small by discarding detail the eye barely notices. It cannot store transparency, so transparent areas become a solid color.
Questions
Questions and answers
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. ConvertOrino converts your files with code that runs in your own browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, nobody else can see your files, and they are gone as soon as you close the page.
Which cameras save ORF files?
Olympus OM D, PEN and Tough cameras, and the newer cameras sold under the OM System name.
Will the JPG look like the photo on my camera screen?
Very close, but not always identical. The camera screen shows a JPG made with the camera's own picture style. ConvertOrino develops the sensor data with LibRaw, using the white balance the camera recorded, so contrast and colors can differ slightly.
Why does each photo take a few seconds?
A RAW file holds unprocessed sensor data. Turning it into a picture means working out the full color of every pixel, applying white balance and converting the colors, and your own device does all of that. A 24 megapixel photo usually takes a few seconds on a computer and longer on a phone.
Can I adjust exposure or white balance?
Not here. This tool develops photos the way the camera recorded them, which is what most people need for sharing. For detailed editing use a raw editor such as Lightroom, Capture One, darktable or RawTherapee.
Is the ORF to JPG tool free?
Yes, completely free. There is no sign up, no watermark and no limit on the number of files.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, because your own device does the work. Very large files are limited by the memory of your device. Phones handle files of a few hundred megabytes, computers handle much more.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows?
Yes. It works in any modern browser, including Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox, on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing needs to be installed.
Is hidden metadata such as location removed?
Yes, by default. Location, camera details and other EXIF data are removed from every converted image. For JPG output you can untick Remove metadata to keep the date taken and camera details instead.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the conversion works without an internet connection, which also proves that your files are not sent anywhere.
