How to convert RAW to JPEG on iPhone?
I’ve been experimenting with RAW photography on my iPhone because I love the flexibility and control it provides over my images. However, I’ve run into a bit of a snag when it comes to sharing these photos or using them in various applications. Most platforms and services I use only accept JPEG files, and I’m finding it quite challenging to convert my RAW photos to JPEG directly on my iPhone. Every time I try to share a photo, I have to go through a complicated process that often involves transferring the photos to my computer first, which is both time-consuming and inconvenient. I’m looking for a straightforward way to convert RAW files to JPEG on my iPhone itself, without losing too much quality in the process. Can anyone help clarify how to do this or point me in the direction of a reliable method or app to achieve this conversion smoothly?

A practical and simple method involves using File Converter from the App Store. Download and open File Converter, import the RAW image from Photos or Files, select JPEG as the output format, and tap ‘Convert’. The app processes the file, and you can save or share the JPEG version directly from the app.
My go-to app for managing RAW files on my iPhone is Adobe Lightroom. Install Lightroom from the App Store, open the app, and import your RAW images. After making any adjustments, tap the Share icon, select ‘Export as’, and choose ‘JPEG’. Set your preferred quality settings, and Lightroom will save the JPEG to your camera roll or chosen Files folder.
To use VSCO for RAW to JPEG conversions, download the app from the App Store, sign in or create an account, and import your RAW images. You can edit them with various filters. Tap on the Export button, choose ‘Save as JPEG’, and VSCO will save the JPEG file to your Photos app, where it’s ready for sharing or further use.
Sometimes I prefer using the built-in capabilities of iOS. Open the Photos app, find your RAW image, and tap ‘Edit’ to make minimal changes. Tap ‘Done’, then the ‘Share’ button, and select ‘Save to Files’. In the Files app, long press the saved RAW image, choose ‘Quick Actions’, and select ‘Convert Image’. Choose JPEG, and the app will handle the conversion.
For converting RAW images to JPEGs, I usually rely on Snapseed because it’s incredibly intuitive. First, download Snapseed from the App Store and open it. Import your RAW image by tapping the plus icon. You can edit the photo if needed. Then, tap ‘Export’ at the bottom right and choose ‘Export As’. Select ‘JPEG’, and Snapseed will convert and save the JPEG version directly to your Photos app.
Open the Photos app, locate the RAW photo you want to convert, and tap the Share button at the bottom left. Select ‘Save to Files’ and choose a location in your Files app. Open the Files app, locate the saved RAW image, long press it, select ‘Quick Actions’, and choose ‘Convert Image’. Select JPEG as the format, and the app will save a JPEG version of your image in the same location.
