Select GIF from the output format list and set your destination folder. You can also adjust quality and compression settings.
4. Start RW2 to GIF conversion

Conversion complete? Your GIF files are saved to the destination folder, ready to use.
How RW2 and GIF differ in practice
RW2 files hold unprocessed sensor data, so white balance and exposure are still adjustable. Converting to GIF 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. GIF stores a limited palette rather than full colour, so the conversion has to reduce the number of distinct colours. Photographic content shows this as banding, while flat graphics and icons usually survive it untouched.
