Supported RAW Formats
Pholara opens 25 RAW formats directly in your browser. Files are decoded on your device with LibRaw (WebAssembly) — nothing is uploaded — and every adjustment renders locally through WebGL2. Edited photos export as JPEG or PNG.

Nikon .nef .nrw
Nikon NEF from DSLR and Z-series mirrorless cameras, plus the compact NRW variant.

How it works
Decoding and editing run entirely on your device, so there is nothing to install and no account to create — see the FAQ for details on privacy and requirements.
