Frequently Asked Questions

ARW is Sony’s RAW format, written by every Alpha mirrorless body — the a7 line (III, IV, R V, S III), a9 II and III, the a1, the a6000 through a6700 APS-C range, and the ZV-E1 and ZV-E10 vlogging cameras. Sony’s RX100 compact series writes ARW too.

KoalaPic decodes ARW with the white balance your camera recorded at capture, so a JPG matches what the Sony body showed on its rear screen. Picture Profiles and Creative Looks are in-camera JPG settings and are not stored in the RAW data, so those are not applied.

KoalaPic accepts files up to 50 MB. Compressed ARW from a 24 MP body runs 24–30 MB and fits comfortably, but uncompressed 14-bit ARW from a 61 MP a7R V can reach 120 MB. Switch the camera to compressed or lossless-compressed RAW, which halves the file with no visible difference.

Up to 50 ARW files per batch, each up to 50 MB. Every file is decoded independently with the same quality setting, and the results come back as a single ZIP. Converted files are deleted one hour after conversion.
