Open RAW files online — free RAW viewer
View a RAW photo without Lightroom, Photoshop or anything to install: drop the file below and it's decoded right on your device — nothing is uploaded, and there's no account. Works with 25 RAW formats, from Canon CR2/CR3 to Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Fujifilm RAF and Adobe DNG.

How it works
Pholara runs LibRaw — the same decoding library behind many desktop RAW tools — as WebAssembly in your browser. Your file is read locally, decoded locally and displayed locally; it never touches a server. All you need is a current browser with WebGL2 for the editor (Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari).
More than a viewer
One click takes any photo you open here into the full Pholara editor — tone curves, white balance, HSL, color grading and lens corrections, free with no account. Or just need the file converted? Use the RAW to JPEG converter.
