How does identification work?

The tool reads the first 16 bytes of each file (magic bytes) for initial format detection, then passes the file to the libraw-wasm engine which returns the exact camera make, model, and image dimensions.

Can it identify HEIC/HEIF RAW files?

HEIC files (including Apple ProRAW) use a different container format. Use the HEIC to JPG tool for those files.

RAW Format Identifier — What RAW Format Is This File?

Drop any file — even one with a wrong or missing extension — and instantly identify its RAW format, camera make, model, image resolution, and whether the conversion tools support it. Useful for photographers managing mixed or mislabelled archives.
