PNG provides lossless compression preserving every pixel of demosaiced Fujifilm RAF data. The X-Trans sensor's unique 6x6 pattern produces images with distinctive detail characteristics that benefit from lossless preservation. Converting RAF to PNG delivers Fujifilm's Film Simulation rendering in a web-compatible, artifact-free format.

Unlike JPEG, PNG introduces no compression artifacts, making it ideal for compositing, technical work, and quality-critical applications where Fujifilm's acclaimed color science must be preserved at pixel-level accuracy.

PNG preserves image integrity for compositing, graphic design, and technical photography. Designers compositing Fujifilm X-Trans images appreciate PNG's artifact-free output for clean layering. Product photographers needing transparency from Fujifilm captures require PNG.

For scientific and technical photography with Fujifilm cameras, PNG provides verifiable lossless output with the Film Simulation color rendering accurately preserved.

The conversion reads the RAF container, demosaices X-Trans data with Film Simulation applied, and outputs 8-bit per channel RGB PNG with DEFLATE compression. X-Trans's 6x6 pattern is handled by specialized demosaicing algorithms. PNG achieves 30-50% compression versus uncompressed for photographic content.

PNG is 3-5x larger. X-T5: ~10-18 MB JPEG vs ~35-55 MB PNG.

Yes, Film Simulation rendering is applied during conversion and losslessly preserved in the PNG.

The conversion produces solid RGB. Add alpha in an editor afterward.

Works but labs prefer JPEG or TIFF. PNG is best for images needing further editing.

Yes, X-Trans's reduced moire and distinctive demosaicing produces cleaner pixel-level detail in the lossless output.
