NEF is Nikon's RAW format — unprocessed sensor data straight from the camera, 12/14-bit, with maximum editing latitude and zero compatibility with everyday software. EditItAll decodes NEF via libraw compiled to WebAssembly and exports standard JPEG, PNG or WebP locally, without uploading your photos anywhere.
