Frequently Asked Questions
Is the conversion process lossy?
While all conversions involve some degree of processing, our converter aims to minimize quality loss. The resulting PCT file will be as close to the original ARW file as possible, but some subtle differences may occur.
How long does the conversion take?
The conversion time depends on the file size and server load. Generally, smaller files convert quickly, while larger files may take a few minutes.
What if my file is very large?
We support large ARW files, but extremely large files may encounter upload limitations. If you experience issues, try reducing the image resolution or splitting the file into smaller parts.

Understanding ARW and PCT Formats
ARW is a raw image format used by Sony digital cameras. It contains unprocessed data directly from the camera's sensor, offering maximum flexibility for editing. PCT, or PictureTamer, is a format designed for long-term archival and organization of digital images, often used by professional photographers and archivists. Converting from ARW to PCT allows you to leverage PictureTamer's organizational features and ensure the longevity of your valuable image data. This conversion is particularly useful for those seeking a robust archiving solution beyond standard image formats.
