ORF is the RAW format of Olympus cameras, now made under the OM System brand, holding the undeveloped sensor data.
Olympus and OM System Micro Four Thirds cameras.

About JPEG
JPEG is the standard lossy image format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group that published it in 1992. It shrinks photos to a fraction of their raw size by discarding fine detail.
Photos from cameras and phones, images on the web and email attachments; every device and app opens it.
JPEG has no transparency, stores 8 bits per colour channel, and loses a little more quality every time it is saved again.
Why convert photos to JPG? It is the one image format every website, app and photo service accepts, and at high quality settings the loss is invisible.
What changes when you convert ORF to JPEG
- The ORF is turned into a single finished JPEG picture; extra data a ORF file can hold, such as RAW sensor data, layers or additional images, does not carry over.
- The ORF sensor data is developed into a finished JPEG picture with default settings; the extra room a RAW file gives for later exposure and white-balance edits does not carry over.
- RAW demosaicing is best-effort; results vary by camera.
