The first way is for users who don’t have a lot of files to change. This method is the browser-based system, which allows for the uploading and downloading of individual files (as opposed to in bulk). All this requires is a serviceable internet connection and enough hard drive space to take on the new AI file. I recommend using \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fconvertio.co\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Convertio\u003C\u002Fa> for this conversion, due to how easy it is to use and how quickly it offers downloads.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-43976\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192005\u002Fconvert-orf-to-ai-2.jpg\" alt=\"A digital eye that looks like a lens.\" class=\"wp-image-43976\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192005\u002Fconvert-orf-to-ai-2.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192005\u002Fconvert-orf-to-ai-2-450x253.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192005\u002Fconvert-orf-to-ai-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">There are different ways to change from the ORF to AI.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next method requires more hard drive space but doesn’t necessitate as fast of internet connection. The system-based conversion is done with a program that the user installs onto their personal computer. From there, they can convert a large quantity of image files all at once without any internet access. For this type of conversion, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ffilestar.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Filestar\u003C\u002Fa> is an amazing option, as it provides a basic, unintrusive system for the less technically-inclined users.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--what-are-the-main-reasons-to-convert\">What are the main reasons to convert?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ORF has very limited potential in its original format. It is restricted to some basic editing within the Olympus Viewer tool. It’s also quite inaccessible, as most users are unable to open it without downloading and installing third party software (or making their own conversion!). Though this isn’t a huge issue if you plan on keeping the ORF file as-is and not share it, it’s clearly a problem for anyone wanting to do more with their images.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-43978\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"795\" height=\"692\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192005\u002Fconvert-orf-to-ai-3.jpg\" alt=\"A spherical digital outline.\" class=\"wp-image-43978\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192005\u002Fconvert-orf-to-ai-3.jpg 795w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192005\u002Fconvert-orf-to-ai-3-450x392.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192005\u002Fconvert-orf-to-ai-3-768x668.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">There are a lot of reasons to convert to an AI.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where the AI could really help users out as an alternative.
