RAW files take up a lot of system storage as well. It means you cannot open or view RAW files as easily as JPEG photos. But RAW files are not as compatible as they are customizable. As we said earlier, most smartphones come with a Pro mode, which lets you take pictures in RAW. As a result, RAW files provide advanced options for processing and manipulation.īecause of the RAW image format's customizability, many photographers capture photos in RAW instead of JPEG.

As opposed to JPEG, a processed format, RAW files will contain high levels of capture detail. RAW is an image file format that contains uncompressed image data that a camera sensor has captured.

Fortunately, you don't have to worry about this as a Mac user, as you can convert these files without any third-party software.
