What is an ORF file?
ORF – Olympus RAW photo. ORF is a RAW photo format from Olympus: the data straight from the camera's sensor, before it is turned into a JPG. It keeps more detail to adjust, but needs a RAW converter to be opened.
ORF Converter →What is a GIF file?
GIF – GIF image. GIF is the classic format for short looping animations and simple graphics. A GIF picture has at most 256 colors, so photographs look grainy in it.

Good to know
- A GIF has at most 256 colors, so photographs can look grainy and files can come out larger than the original.
- ORF files are developed on our server with the camera's own white balance, then saved as GIF. Expect a good-looking picture, not a replacement for your RAW editor.
- Tick Remove metadata in Options to leave out information stored in the picture, such as the camera and the place.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting ORF to GIF free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my ORF pictures uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because a browser can't develop camera RAW files. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion.
How large can the ORF file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Can I change the size or quality of the GIF?
Yes. Click Options next to the file to set a width and height, choose a quality, remove metadata and more. Only the settings that make sense for ORF to GIF are shown.
Can I convert several ORF files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
