What is a .raf file?
RAF is Fujifilm's raw format, used across the X-series and GFX ranges. X-Trans sensors use an unusual colour filter array rather than the standard Bayer pattern, which is why some raw converters have historically struggled with fine detail in Fujifilm files while others handle them beautifully.
What people use RAF files for
- Originals from an X-T, X-Pro or GFX body
- Files delivered to a retoucher
- Archives kept alongside the camera's film simulation JPEGs
- Medium-format work from GFX bodies
What opens a RAF file
- Capture One, widely considered the strongest for X-Trans
- Lightroom and Camera Raw
- Fujifilm X RAW Studio, free, which uses the camera's own processing
- darktable and RawTherapee
How to host a RAF file

Drop your RAF file in
Drag it onto the box at the top of this page, or click to choose it. Files up to 25 MB are supported, and nothing is uploaded until you publish.

Pick an address
Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: fuji-raw.99helpers.site

Publish and share
Create a free account — that step exists so the file is yours to update, replace or delete — and the link is live within seconds.
The same three steps work for any file — see how file hosting works on 99helpers.com.
What happens when someone opens the link
The file downloads and opens in a raw editor. Which editor matters more than usual with Fujifilm files, because X-Trans demosaicing varies noticeably in quality between converters.
Why host a RAF file instead of emailing it?
Fujifilm photographers often deliver both the raw and the camera's film-simulation JPEG, since the in-camera rendering is a large part of why people shoot Fuji. Hosting both at linked addresses keeps them together.
Worth knowing before you publish
- Host the camera's JPEG alongside the RAF — the film simulation is often exactly what the client wanted.
- Capture One and recent Lightroom versions handle X-Trans well; older converters produced smeared foliage.
- GFX medium-format RAF files are large and frequently exceed the size limit; DNG conversion helps.
RAF hosting questions
- Why do Fujifilm raw files look different in different editors?
- X-Trans sensors use a non-standard colour filter array, so converters have to demosaic them differently. Capture One and recent Lightroom versions handle it well; some older software produced smeared detail in foliage.
- What opens a RAF file for free?
- Fujifilm's X RAW Studio, which uses your camera's own processor for authentic film simulations, plus darktable and RawTherapee.
- Should I send the RAF or the JPEG?
- Often both. Fujifilm's in-camera film simulations are a real part of the appeal, so clients frequently prefer the JPEG while the retoucher wants the raw.
