ORF stands for Olympus Raw Image File. It is a very niche image extension, used only for a very few things. Users can open the ORF using Olympus Viewer, the standard Olympus software program. This allows for editing, though most users seek out alternative systems to find more extensive options.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--what-is-a-jpg-image-file\">What is a JPG image file?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JPG image file is the Joint Photographic Experts Group official file. Though the acronym matches JPEG, these two are completely interchangeable, as you’ll see throughout the rest of this article. The JPG is very accessible, editable and shareable. It’s a popular image type due to how easy it is to open and share. Unfortunately, it uses lossy compression, meaning its small size comes with a price – weaker resolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-41330\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192444\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg.jpg\" alt=\"A picture of the JPG file icon.\" class=\"wp-image-41330\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192444\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192444\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg-450x450.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192444\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg-150x150.jpg 150w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192444\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg-768x768.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The JPG is a very popular extension.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--how-to-convert-the-orf-to-jpg\">How to convert the ORF to JPG\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Olympus Viewer allows us to make a manual conversion from ORF to JPG, though there are a few steps needed and some necessary explanation. The first thing to clear up is we can’t actually save to a JPG from Olympus Viewer, though we technically can. The Viewer only allows us to export to the JPEG, which, as I mentioned earlier, is interchangeable with the JPG. With that out of the way, begin the process by loading the ORF file you wish to convert into Olympus Viewer. Under the ‘File’ menu, select ‘Export’. In the window that appears, choose ‘JPEG’ in the ‘Format’ dropdown bar. Click ‘Save’ and you will now have a JPEG file (interchangeable with JPG).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want an alternate conversion method, there’s third-party systems that automate the process. All it requires is an internet connection and enough hard drive space to store the new JPG files you create (you can always delete the original ORF file to save more room). Navigate your browser to one of the many converters, upload your ORF file and then download your new JPG file. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fconvertio.co\u002Forf-jpg\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Convertio\u003C\u002Fa> works really well for this process due to its quick speeds and simple interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-41335\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192443\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg-3.jpg\" alt=\"A woman walking through a small, lighted space.\" class=\"wp-image-41335\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192443\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg-3.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192443\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg-3-450x300.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192443\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A conversion provides new options.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--why-should-you-convert-an-orf-to-a-jpg\">Why should you convert an ORF to a JPG?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chances are you enjoy a lot of things about the ORF format. It allowed you to digitize your entire collection without sacrificing any resolution. The issues that arise are typically its lack of accessibility and its overwhelming size. One problem the ORF has is it’s hard to open. Certainly for the original user, they’re likely to have Olympus Viewer. However, any future recipients of the file likely won’t. This creates an inconvenience to clients and other team members of projects. By converting to a JPG, you sacrifice some quality but ultimately allow more access to your work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The large size of the ORF makes it very difficult to share. Even though internet speeds are much faster universally, a large ORF file could potentially take a very long time to download. Furthermore, when you consider that you might need to share your entire portfolio, it could end up taking hours to send and receive. The JPG is a much more conveniently-sized image file, giving you a chance to send your files quickly and easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reality of images today is that they’re used in a practical sense digitally. Instead of admiration, they require practicality for things like website usage and sharing. Because of this, make sure you know how to convert your ORF files.\u003C\u002Fp>",3,{"url":36,"url_md":37,"alt":38,"height":39,"width":40},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192355\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg-25.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192355\u002Fconvert-orf-to-jpg-25-450x270.jpg","Numerous arrows circling.",480,800,[42],{"id":43,"slug":43,"title":44,"path":45},"photo-management","Photo management","\u002Fpost-category\u002Fphoto-management\u002F",[47,54,61],{"featuredImage":48,"postId":49,"slug":50,"title":51,"description":52,"path":53},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F10\u002F19193520\u002Fconvert-tiff-to-png-4-450x450.jpg",35484,"convert-tiff-to-png","How to convert the TIFF to PNG","The TIFF image file has a lot of positive attributes that make it unique.
