NEF to AVIF: what carries over and what does not

NEF files hold unprocessed sensor data, so white balance and exposure are still adjustable. Converting to AVIF bakes those decisions into the pixels, and highlight recovery is no longer available afterwards. Set white balance and exposure before the run rather than after. NEF carries 14 bits per channel and AVIF carries 12, so tonal steps get coarser during conversion. It shows up first in smooth gradients such as skies. If the result will be edited further, move to a 12-bit format only at the very end.

"Nikon's NEF files are legendary for quality, but they're huge and proprietary. reaConverter converts them to JPEG with stunning results – the dynamic range is retained, and the colours are spot on. I've processed over 10,000 NEFs with this tool and never had a glitch."

NEF to AVIF Conversion: FAQ

What are NEF files?

NEF represents the extension typically associated with RAW images taken with Nikon cameras. Most professional photographers shoot in RAW mode because this allows them to make a series of adjustments during post-processing, including noise removal, white balance or the correction of under/overexposure without reducing the image quality. As opposed to JPEG or other compressed formats, which include predefined values for aspects such as white balance or brightness and color depth, RAW images allow the photographer more freedom in shaping how the final image will actually look.

What are AVIF files?

AVIF is a new image format launched at the end of 2020. AV1 Image File Format was developed by the Alliance for Open Media in collaboration with Netflix, Google and Cisco. This format was created to be an open-sourced and royalty-free image format with a super-compression efficiency. Multiple graphics compression tests show that the .avif format outperforms the JPEG, PNG and WebP image formats for its image quality to compressed file size ratio.
