How do I open ARW files?

ARW files

Microsoft Windows Photos ARW icon

ARW files are Sony Digital Camera Image files used to save digital photographs. The ARW format is based on the TIFF specification. The ARW file is the digital version of a film negative as it contains raw, uncompressed image data. ARW data is captured by the camera's Charged Couple Device (CCD) sensors. Since the CCD on Sony cameras differ from each other, the raw data captured by two different Sony camera models may store data in different formats. The ARW file format can be adjusted by File Viewer Lite as well as exported to common raster formats such as JPEG and TIFF.
