An ARW file is a RAW image format used by Sony digital cameras to store uncompressed image data captured by the camera's sensor. ### Can I resize my image during the conversion? Yes, you can specify an optional maximum width or height in pixels to resize the output JPEG. ### How does highlight recovery work? The highlight recovery option reconstructs detail in overexposed areas of the RAW image, with higher values applying more aggressive recovery. ### Will this tool preserve my photo's metadata? Yes, the converter automatically extracts and retains image dimensions and metadata from the original ARW file. ### Is there a file size limit for the uploaded ARW file? Yes, the maximum supported file size for a single ARW upload is 200 MB. ## Related tools - [Convert CR2 to JPEG](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/cr2-to-jpg): Convert Canon CR2 RAW files to JPEG format.
