NEF is an abbreviation of Nikon Electronic Format and is primarily used for retaining everything captured by a camera before it undergoes any form of processing. The information maintained by the NEF file format also includes metadata such as the camera name, lens type, and lens model. A file with the NEF extension is known as a Nikon RAW Image File, most commonly referred to as camera raw image files and used by Nikon digital SLR cameras, NEF files are digital negatives and contain information captured by the camera's image sensors. NEF files capture video in their original format without any form of in-camera processing of the hue, tone, sharpness and white balance.
PNG stands for portable network graphics. It is the raster graphics format associated with the .png filename extension. Unlike GIF format, the limitation of 256 colors does not hold with the PNG format. In fact this among other reasons was the motivation behind development of the PNG format to improve upon the GIF format. The PNG format however uses a single image format and thus does not support animations. Because the format was engineered to ease the distribution of graphic files across computer networks it is also not well suited for professional graphics.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for NEF to PNG conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload NEF files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized PNG results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent PNG audio with dependable progress tracking.
NEF files are used in Nikon digital cameras for capturing video without post-processing them or adding special effects. NEF files are stored as RAW image files and can be transferred to the computer for image editing and post-production purposes. NEF files can be converted to various other file formats such as TIFF, JPEG, PNG and can be used with image editing applications like Photoshop. NEF files are uncompressed, contain meta information of image data and are used for saving images taken with a Nikon digital camera. Any changes in the hue, tone and color made to the NEF files can be reversed, what this means is that users can fall back on any changes to the image they previously made through an image editing software and restore the image to its original quality.
The PNG formation become a published ISO standard in 2004 as ISO/IEC 15948, although it was formally accepted for use by the internet engineering steering group in 1996. The PNG format has broad support for various color palettes including 24 bit RGB, 32 RGBA, and grayscale with optional support for transparency. The lossless data compression method used by PNG is DEFLATE.
