Converting ARW to AVIF does not create transparency by itself.
Camera raw conversion requires decoding, demosaicing, white balance, tone mapping, and encoder choices.
Converting ARW to AVIF decodes the source image and writes a AVIF output. Use this route when AVIF is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
AVIF can produce strong compression, but aggressive settings may introduce smoothing, color shifts, or detail loss. Encoder effort and quality settings matter.
Convert JPG/PNG/WebP to AVIF for modern web delivery. Offer JPG/PNG/WebP fallbacks where compatibility matters.
Known metadata support: Exif, Sony MakerNotes, XMP sidecars.
Modern web/library support; older desktop support varies.
