Technical note

How ARW and DWG differ in practice

ARW files hold unprocessed sensor data, so white balance and exposure are still adjustable. Converting to DWG 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. How good the result is depends almost entirely on the ARW going in. Clean line art, a logo or a drawing scanned at 300 dpi or more traces into geometry you can work with. A photograph does not: continuous tone has no contours to follow, so tracing it produces thousands of tiny shapes and a file nobody can edit. Scan or export at the highest resolution available, and prefer a lossless original, because compression artefacts along an edge become ripples in the traced path.

Sony's ARW files are great, but they're a pain to share. reaConverter turns them into JPEGs that look exactly like the original – no colour shifts, no sharpness loss. I've tried Capture One and Lightroom, but this is faster and more straightforward for batch conversions.

My Sony A7III produces ARW files that choke my old PC. reaConverter lets me convert them to JPEG with lossless compression, reducing file size by 70% while keeping all the details. Now I can store more photos without upgrading my hardware.

FAQ

ARW to DWG Conversion

What are ARW files?

ARW is the proprietary format used by Sony cameras to create and store RAW image files — uncompressed images which can be later on adjusted using image editing software. RAW images are popular among photographers because they allow an advanced degree of customization during digital post-processing. However, ARW files, like most RAW images, tend to be very large in size, which makes them difficult to store and transfer.

What are DWG files?

DWG (which stands for "Drawing") is a proprietary format of AutoCAD, a program widely used for creating engineering and architectural projects. The format is also a default extension used by several other computer-aided design (CAD) pieces of software, including IntelliCAD, Caddie or DraftSight.
