A real NijRAW edit: from the original RAW file to a finished photograph, entirely on-device.
The essentials

Adjust, analyse, retouch and export.

Use Auto improve, review Photo Insights, make selective edits and save the result. The same tools work with JPEG and supported camera RAW files.

01 / Photo editing

Edit RAW and everyday photos

Open JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF and supported camera RAW files. Start with Auto improve or adjust exposure, white balance, colour and detail yourself.

02 / Photo Insights

Photo Insights & Guide

Get on-device feedback on lighting, edge detail and composition, plus suggestions to try. Based on image measurements, not generative AI.

03 / Local editing

Edit specific areas

Select a subject or background, use brush and gradient masks, retouch with Heal or Clone, and correct lens distortion.

04 / Compare & export

Compare, save and export

Compare two edits with Two Looks. Keep photos in your local Library, save a .nijraw project, or export JPEG, PNG and TIFF.

File support includes JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP and many camera RAW formats such as ARW, NEF, CR2/CR3, DNG, RAF, ORF and RW2. Availability depends on the file and browser.

Privacy & licensing

No photo uploads. Offline editing.

NijRAW is free, with no account or watermark. Photos are decoded and edited locally in your browser, not on a remote editing service. You can continue editing offline after the editor loads.

The original NijRAW application code is available on GitHub under GPLv3. Bundled third-party components have their own licenses.
