View RW2 Files Online

An .rw2 file is a Panasonic Raw image file, created by various Panasonic digital cameras. Like other RAW digital camera image formats, an RW2 file contains uncompressed and unprocessed data directly from the camera's sensor. The extra data provided by this format allows a photographer to make more precise, higher-quality edits to a photograph's color, brightness, and contrast.

RW2 files can be opened by image viewer applications that support RAW images, like Apple Preview and Microsoft Photos. They can be edited in photo editors like Adobe Photoshop. They can be converted to other formats that are more appropriate for sharing, like the JPEG (.jpg) format which uses lossy compression to reduce the file size of the photograph significantly, while only slightly reducing the image quality. Photographs can also be shared using lossless image formats, like TIFF (.tif), PNG (.png), or bitmap (.bmp), although these result in larger images than JPEG.
