RawExtractor

RawExtractor is a software tool that can be used in order to transform several RAW images to JPGs in a matter of seconds.

Clear-cut interface

The installation process does not bring any surprises and it is over in a few seconds. When you wrap it up, you are met with a plain and well organized interface, which only encompasses a panel to display uploaded items and several buttons, so that you can easily access all available actions. Aside from that, all user categories can work with it, without experiencing any type of issue.

Supported formats and resource usage

This utility supports quite a wide range of photo extensions, such as CR2, NEF, PEF, DNG, ORF, ARW, RAW and MRW. These can be added one or several at a time, using the built-in file browser. The “drag and drop” feature is not incorporated, which is considered to be a small setback, as it could have helped individuals manage images in a more efficient fashion.
All uploaded items are displayed in the main window, along with information such as name, date, size, status and path. Once you have selected all the ones that interest you, choose a directory where to save it, insert a post-fix and establish what action should be taken when a file already exists.
The CPU and memory usage remains low to moderate most of the times and thus, the system's performance will not be hampered. Help contents are provided online, and they happen to be quite explicit and neatly organized.

Conclusion

All in all, RawExtractor proves to a pretty decent piece of software when it comes to extracting JPG from RAW images. It has a good response time and a user-friendly interface. Nonetheless, it could benefit greatly from an update.
